There are thousands of scholarships out there. The two most well known ones are athletic and merrit (grade) scholarships. Of course, there are scholarships for other reasons too such as wearing duct tape to the prom. However, there are a number of sources to look for scholarships out there. First, FAFSA form will tap into need based financial assistance from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. It is based on the family income and resources. Second, the state offers college grants. They can be located via Google.com and Yahoo.com. It is need based, too. Third, the local high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships that current students can apply for consideration. Fourth, the local public library has a scholarship listing book. It often lists scholarships not listed on the web. Fifth, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships from outside organizations and companies for students to apply for consideration. Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. Most offer a customized search based on information that you enter into a form. Good luck!
