It's Time to Get Your Butt into Gear!

We're Still Giving Away $1,000 a Week!

Ten-hut! Finding scholarship cash for school is tough-but it's easier when you're considered a top candidate. Scholarship providers are all looking for different things, but having a strong GPA, high tests scores, well-written essays and related work experience or volunteer activities can help catapult you into the top tier of applicants.

Enter FastWeb's Scholarship BootCamp! We'll help you improve your overall application package from the ground up-starting with your GPA. Every week you'll focus on a different aspect of your scholarship applications.

But first, begin with the self-assessment and see where you stand. Then, let's get started!

Find out more about how Scholarship BootCamp works!

Remember: Every time you complete a task you’ll be entered into a $1,000 drawing. The more tasks you complete, the better your chances of winning!

To complete a task:

  1. Follow the links above to the most recent/active week.
  2. Look for the dog tags. New links and tags will be added in that section daily.
  3. Each time you find a tag, email the number you find stamped on it to scholarshipbootcamp@fastweb.com.

F to D adds about 25 award matches
D to C adds about 12 award matches
C to B adds about 16 award matches
B to A adds about 6 award matches
