Scholarship Web Search
FastWeb (Finanical Aid Search Through the Web) is the largest and most complete scholarship search on the Internet. It provides access to a searchable database of more than 275,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and student loans. Used by colleges across the United States, FastWeb is now available to you FREE through the World Wide Web, courtesy of NICC and FastWeb.com, L.L.C.
To use FastWeb, a student fills out a detailed profile through a series of online forms which includes selecting the school which you will be attending. We urge you to select "NICC - Calmar/Peosta." After the forms are completed, FastWeb responds within a few minutes with a list of matching awards. Each entry in this list includes information about deadlines, eligibility requirements, award amounts, and contact information for the award provider. You will then have the additional opportunity to apply electronically for NICC scholarships. Please contact us if you have any questions about this unique procedure.
