Email Account & Scholarships

It is important to have an email account which is designated specifically for scholarships. Once you start completing your profile on websites such as FastWeb.com, you will be inundated with mail from colleges and institutions. The colleges will try to recruit you and financial institutions will try to convince you to take out a student loan.

Your scholarship email should be professional and simple enough to avoid errors when a scholarship organization is trying to reach you. If it is too long and complicated, there is a greater chance for errors.

Please avoid "cutsey" email addresses like cutelittlechick or bighunk. Also, anything that may be negative like sober5. Probably not a good idea to have a year (Betty1991) since it usually indicates the year you were born. You just don't want to devulge too much personal information through your email name.

There are new email sites frequently. The following are a few you might want to consider:
