Message from Financial Aid Advisor: Scholarships will never reduce grant money but they may reduce loans. Even with loans, we only have to reduce them if the total amount of aid is above the student’s cost of attendance which is between $14,000 – $28,000 per year.  I think the best way to frame it is just more free money for college and the return on investment can be very large!

The Best Scholarship Search Platforms
#1: Fastweb

9.3/10 overall score: Best for students who want an easy to use platform with the most tools

Fastweb is the top overall scholarship search platform in our review. They scored consistently high marks across every metric. They were the easiest to use as they required no registration to browse scholarship listings, had both a searchable database and personalized matches, and were mobile-friendly.

Fastweb also had the most tools of any platform. That fact, combined with a high score for scholarship availability, means Fastweb is the best platform for finding scholarships, managing deadlines, and tracking applications.

The only thing that could be considered a drawback would be a smaller number of search results than some competitors, but their overall third-place finish in that metric means they still outshine most. They also scored third place in search functionality, so while the number of results you get may be smaller, they’re most likely more relevant to you than sites with high results but few filters.
