CHICAGO, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fastweb
(www.fastweb.com), the leading website for scholarship and
financial aid information and a member of the Monster network,
commemorates the history of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
(LGBT) advocacy and the diversity of the LGBT community during LGBT
Pride Month.
The LGBT community and its supporters hold events in June to
commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in
New York City on June 28, 1969. Historians consider this date to
be the initiation of the LGBT movement. As such, the impact that
LGBT individuals have had on history is celebrated throughout the
month of June.
Fastweb works to support all students seeking opportunities to
help fund their education. The site's latest resource, LGBTQ
Community Scholarships and Internships, highlights a collection of
new scholarships, fellowships and internships for LGBT students in
several academic areas. Additional opportunities are included for
students with community service involvement and for students
interested in advancing LGBT rights. Fastweb's scholarship
directory of LGBTQ scholarship opportunities is another strong
resource students can utilize while looking for ways to pay for
school.
Fastweb provides helpful and insightful online resources to help
students find ways to fund their education. Resources are available
online and always at no charge. More programs for all students can
be found on Fastweb.com.
