FastWEB (Financial Aid Search Through the WEB) is the largest and most complete scholarship search on the Internet. Used by colleges across the United States, it provides access to a searchable database of more than 275,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and student loans. To use fastWEB, a student fills out a detailed profile through a series of online forms. After the forms are complete, 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.
The NCAA has an Eligibility Center for high school athletes who plan to compete in Division I or II collegiate athletic programs. Students must complete the online registration process at http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/future/eligibility-center. Niles High School coaches can give players information about the NCAA. Students can also speak with the Athletic Director Mr. Brawley, or Mrs. Bierwagen if they have questions.
