for a deferment, and how deferments are processed.
Scholarship Search Service
(fastWEB) This is a comprehensive, on-line scholarship search facility
that includes over 275,000 scholarship listings. You will be asked to provide
information about yourself and your parents. Based on this information, the
system will return a list of scholarships, grants or funds which you may be
eligible to receive. You will also receive a detailed description of each
scholarship and the ability to automatically generate a form letter to receive
more information. The search includes national, regional and local funds. When
you initially use the system, you will supply a name and password. The system
will then set up a private "mailbox" for you. The results of your searches go to
your mailbox. You may check your mailbox at any time. Your mailbox will be
updated with new scholarships and funds as new information becomes
available.
