CHICAGO, Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Fastweb
announced the launch of its fifth annual Student Contributor
series, where students author Fastweb articles sharing their
experience and insight for readers at all grade levels. Fastweb
(www.fastweb.com), a member of the Monster network, is the leading
website for scholarship and financial aid information.
The Student Contributors in Fastweb's new series write articles
offering their distinct perspectives on relevant topics within
student life. Articles emphasize the college application and
admissions process, study tips and scholarship applications, as
well as insights on daily life experiences in high school, college
and graduate school.
The Student Contributor team for 2016-2017 school year is made
up of both familiar and fresh faces. Fastweb welcomes back McKenzie
Nevins, a sophomore at Taylor
University and Ashley

University.

Arts

In June, Fastweb began conducting outreach to extend the
opportunity to apply for the 2016 Student Contributor series to
site members with listed career interests in creative writing,
journalism, news media, publishing and related fields. Applicants
were required to provide a brief personal summary, as well as a
250-word writing sample on a topic relating to their experience
with the scholarship, financial aid or admission process. This
year's team was selected from the many talented writers who
applied.
"We are excited to kick off our fifth annual Student
Contributors series," said Mark
Nelson, Vice President of Product Management at Fastweb. "We
continue to support students with the best tools and information
available to help them with the many decisions related to their
education. These student authors provide fellow students insight on
student life that is valuable and relevant."
