We encourage our students to seek scholarships through outside sources – a good place to start is the www.fastweb.com.  FastWeb is a free scholarship search service; students provide information about their backgrounds and their academic pursuits, and FastWeb will identify foundations, agencies or other organizations that offer scholarships and match students’ profiles. Application forms are available in Student Services.
