Set up a [|Fastweb] account if you have not. (Hint: Set up a separate email account just for scholarship notifications and mail. Otherwise you will sort through the glut of email that will bombard your other accounts.) Juniors, now is a great time to do so since there are scholarships for juniors that often time go unclaimed.
