<p>I agree that fastweb is like a lottery system, except that it takes a minute and a dollar to buy a lottery ticket. It takes a great deal more time to apply for an average scholarship listed on fastweb, or other similar sites…unless you are either a freak of nature genius, or minority ( no flames please ) I think it is a waste of time.
I think you will have better luck applying to local scholarships where the application pools is smaller.</p>
