Websites that may sell your data unless you request they don’t

Fastweb

Fun fact: Fastweb was the very first college scholarship search website ever!

Sign up is required to see and apply for the over 1.5 million scholarships Fastweb offers on its scholarship database.

Scholarships.com

Websites that may sell your data

These scholarship websites and databases are legit and trustworthy, but are more likely to sell your information (age, address, email, etc.) to third parties. We urge you to be intentional about the scholarships you apply for and what information you share.
