Besides Fast web there are many other websites that claim to help students finance their education through scholarships. To assure myself of which ones are legitimate, I visited a financial aid office of a local private college and asked for up to date information on where to obtain scholarships and grants. The financial aid officer handed me a paper that had a list of the following top websites recommended by them as well as other colleges. Fast web as you can see is the first on the list, however it is followed by others that are equally interested in providing assistance to students looking to locate legitimate sources of grants scholarships.
www.fastweb.com
www.fastaid.com
www.scholarships.com
www.collegescholarship.com
www.scholarshipshop.com

The usual information is required of course, such as, name address, etc. However the next few pages ask you for very specific input, such as income, nationality, likes and dislikes. These seemingly random questions are not at all just for general information. They are designed to pinpoint which specific organizations that offer grants and scholarships will benefit you personally.
