From the Government:
Always start with your Federal aid application -- file your FAFSA online at http://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.

From the Internet:
There are numerous resources out there to help you prepare and pay for college. Try registering with any and all of the below scholarship search sites:

Apply for as many scholarships as you can. For all types of Financial Aid advice, I love FinAid.org: http://www.finaid.org

Remember: you should never have to PAY for Financial Aid advice. Ever. Steer clear of companies that want money upfront. Some good advice about Scholarship Scams: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/scholarship/

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.

Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.

Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!
