CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fastweb
introduced today the full roster of student writers for the
4th Annual 2015 Student Contributors Program. Fastweb
(www.fastweb.com), the leading website for scholarship and
financial aid information, is a member of the Monster network.
The Student Contributor Program, entering its fourth year, is an
article series, which brings insights from students' perspectives
on meaningful topics within student life. Multiple categories are
highlighted in the series through high school, college and graduate
student content. Contributor articles have a wide variety of
topics, including the college admissions process, standardized
testing, study tips, college coursework, student life experiences,
and applying for scholarships.
Fastweb welcomes back five returning members and five new
voices. Returning writers include: Laura
Magerkurth, Maya Moritz,
McKenzie Nevins, Bailey VanNatta and Jaime Vincent; this group is joined by
Riley Harrison, Aggie Kallinicou,
Sonja Killebrew, Ashley Paskill and Madison Sheldrake.
"We are proud and excited to kick off another year of our
Student Contributors program," stated Mark
Nelson, Fastweb's Managing Product Director. "Fastweb
continues to support students with the best tools and information
available, helping them with difficult decisions related to their
education. The content authored by fellow students experiencing
similar issues provides valuable insights."
An outreach campaign began in June
2015 to find worthy student contributors. Fastweb members
specifying an English, Writing, or Journalism major were notified
of the opportunity to write for Fastweb. Interested students were
then asked 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.
Get to know this year's talented team of Student Contributors
and read their current articles on Fastweb.
