Scholarships

In summary, to find scholarships that you are eligible for, you can research online databases and scholarship search engines, check with your school's financial aid office, and contact organizations and foundations related to your field of study or personal characteristics. The requirements for applying to scholarships vary, but most require a certain GPA, an essay, letters of recommendation, and demonstration of financial need. It is encouraged to apply for multiple scholarships at once, and the best time to start looking is as early as possible. If you are not selected for any scholarships, do not get discouraged and continue to search for other opportunities such as grants and loans.

This is a good question for your high school advisor :)

Also contact the schools you want to go to. Most have specific scholarships.
