FastWeb is a free online scholarship search service founded by Internet pioneer Larry Organ[1] in 1995. The company was one of the first 100 commercial websites in the United States. FastWEB is an acronym for (F)inancial (A)id (S)earch (T)hrough the (WEB). FastWeb is recommended by more than 15,000 high schools and 3,500 colleges.[2] Last year, one out of three college-bound high school seniors used the site, and more than 28 million students have created FastWeb accounts since launching in 1995.

On July 12, 2001, Monster Worldwide, which also owns other well-known websites such as Military.com and Tickle.com, announced that it had acquired FastWeb in its furthering campaign in reaching into higher education oriented sites.[3]
