Fast Web- A wonderful site for Scholarships
Each year, thousands of $$$ go unused because no one applies. Each college or university also has their own scholarship websites. My 17 year old is a senior. She expressed an interest in Westminister College in SLC. I was amazed with the number of scholarships available to make it as affordable as Weber State or the University of Utah. Of all the scholarship websites, I've had success with FASTWEB: - www.fastweb.com It was very user-friendly.
