1. Collegeboard.org
While the College Board is known for its college planning tools, it also has an arm that
focuses on scholarships. Big Future hosts scholarships, as well as other financial aid and
internship information from more than 2,200 programs — totaling nearly $6 billion. In
order to get the most accurate search results, it’s critical to fill out as many details as you
can in the profile that’s used for searching.
2. Fastweb.com
Fastweb hosts more than 1.5 million scholarships that provide more than $3.4 billion.
Once you create a profile, the site’s search feature will help you find the most accurate
matches that fit your needs. Your personal profile is how the site helps you find pretty
much exactly what you’re looking for.
You can then also see all the scholarships you applied for, or may want to apply to in the
future. They also have ‘contests’ that you can enter monthly or weekly to win money.
