At Fastweb, we know that Educators work hard to help students succeed through academic instruction, extracurricular leadership and college search guidance.
Educators also want to provide the best information possible to their students, especially regarding available scholarship opportunities, financial aid trends, and college search activities. That's why we created the program Fastweb for Educators.
The program Fastweb for Educators serves as a resource for school counselors, financial aid administrators, and all educators who support their students’ path to higher learning. Through this program, you can successfully engage with your students during their scholarship search and college search processes. From annual printed materials to regular email updates, we'll provide tools and resources to help keep your students knowledgeable. Check out the ways we are here to support you:
Free Printed Materials for Educators
Each year, Fastweb provides useful materials, free of charge, to Educators. These include student handouts, posters, and our popular Quick Reference Guide. We begin shipping printed materials in the Fall and continue throughout the school year. You can order printed materials from our Educator home page and download all materials from our Educator Resources page. The Fastweb Quick Reference Guides feature important dates, scholarship-winning tips and resources for students and educators. Individualized Quick Reference Guides are available to high school and college educators. For students we provide a High School and College calendar which includes key dates and resources Additionally, Fastweb has a vast library of online educator resources, including student handouts, that are free to print and distribute throughout the year.Use Fastweb's Listbuilder Tool

Our Financial Aid section provides a comprehensive look at the financial aid process for students, parents, and educators. We summarize what types of financial aid are available to students and highlight what makes students eligible and how to apply. Additionally, we have provided every financial aid deadline by state for the academic year for which students are applying. Suppose students still need help bridging the gap between what they can afford to pay and their financial aid package. In that case, we have a Student Loan section to help students find the best private student loan for their needs and qualifications. Fastweb writers also provide helpful content specific to parents that educators can use to engage their parent audience. This includes the top parent scholarship questions and answers, tips to get your child to apply for scholarships, college tour tips and more parent news.Visit Us at National Conferences
