About the foundation
Fastweb is a comprehensive online scholarship search platform founded in 1995 by Mark Kantrowitz. It serves as a directory and resource hub, connecting students of all backgrounds—including non-traditional, adult, and returning learners—with financial aid opportunities. Unlike arts organizations, Fastweb does not offer its own grants; instead, it aggregates scholarships from external providers and delivers them to a broad audience. Its core mission is to democratize access to higher education funding by simplifying the search process and providing practical guidance on applications, essays, and financial planning.
Funding opportunities
3 listedApplication guidance
Fastweb is not a grantmaker; it does not accept applications for funding. Artists seeking scholarships should use Fastweb to identify external opportunities, then apply directly to the listed providers. To maximize results, create a detailed profile, set up email alerts, and verify each scholarship's eligibility criteria. Be cautious of scams and never pay a fee to apply for a scholarship.
