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.

Application 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.
