From the Government: Always start with your Federal aid application -- file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and make your it gets to the school(s) you're interested in. This will determine your eligibility for Federal Aid programs, state aid programs, and many institutional/private programs as well. From Schools: Call your schools' Financial Aid Office to see what other programs they might offer besides Federal/State aid. Make sure you know if you are eligible and what you can do to apply. See if they have a list Even if you are no longer enrolled in high school, go visit your High School guidance office to see what they recommend. Some offices will collect scholarship listings that you can browse through From the Library: Go to your local library. They might have a similar list of scholarships posted somewhere. If not, at the very least, they should have dozens of College Planning-type books that you can look through (for free!) to get ideas.
