Introducing the New Fastweb Student Contributor Team

One of the best ways to learn is by doing, and each year, the Fastweb student contributor team does just that. Our student contributor team consists of real high school and college students who are willing to share their experiences with Fastweb users—their peers. The 2024-25 Student Contributor team is sharing their knowledge by providing their latest ideas and offering support with their voices. We are proud to introduce Fastweb's 13th annual, 2024-2025 student contributor team. This team focuses on relevant student-focused issues such as the college applications and admissions processes and applying for scholarships, as well as daily high school, college, and graduate student life topics. From standardized testing and managing coursework to completing or renewing their FAFSA—this year's student writer team is eager to give Fastweb readers a first-hand narrative of the current happenings in the student world. Fastweb's editorial team is honored to give these students, as Fastweb users, a platform to share their advice with fellow students and parents.

How You Can Be a 2025-2026 Student Writer?

Each July, the opportunity to apply to the Fastweb Student Contributor team is extended to Fastweb members with listed career interests like creative writing, journalism, news media, publishing, and related fields. We receive a high volume of student responses every year. Be sure to be on the lookout if you are interested in the 2024-2025 Student Contributor season. Our diverse team consists of students from all sorts of backgrounds and of different ages, races, and ethnicities. Just as no Fastweb member is alike, no student contributor is either! And they are all Fastweb members, just like you. We also encourage you to find a student contributor's voice to whom you can relate and check back on their articles throughout the academic school year.
