Just Curious: Has anyone ever been benifited by Fastweb and other Scholarship sites?

<p>I for one, dont know anybody who has been benifited</p>

<p>Let me know if you know any internationals gaining from such sites. Experiences are welcome.</p>

<p>I signed up with Fastweb (at least i think it was Fastweb) but after a couple of weeks of many, many useless emails I lost my patience and unsubscribed.</p>

<p>yeah.. i signed up for it... i found a few scholarships that were good.... but alot of them are bad.... i delete all the emails they send me... and log in once every 4 months.....</p>

<p>i don't know...... it might be able to help you if you are really into looking for a scholarship</p>

<p>Even I signed up with fastweb.. they kept sending me some or the other mail now and then.. and I kept deleting them.. And now I think my account has expired.. The jist is that I didn't benefit anything from it.. nor i know anybody who has..</p>

<p>same here.. not useful at all</p>

<p>Pure spam .</p>

<p>I found it extremely useful, I even won a 1000 dollar scholarship through them :D</p>

<p>^ You are a permanent resident aren't you?</p>

<p>but still it is useful.</p>

<p>Of all the scholarship opportunities I have got to know thru fastweb.. only a few were for internationals.. That too not for high school students but for students enrolled in some us college..
So its basically crap for high school intl students and more crap for students like me who is neither in high school nor in college!</p>

<p>So much of CB and a lot of universities, some prominent, recommending such sites..</p>
