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!

College Grants For Recovering Addicts

Depends on what state you're from. Question 31 on the FAFSA says "Have you been convicted of possessing or selling ilegal drugs?" If you have, you are pretty much disqualified for Pell Grant. However, they should issue you an EFC, which will be used by other institutions to tell if you need money. Minnesota, for example, will still give out its state grant to people who have been convicted of drugs or don't possibley have a high school diploma. Talk to a financial aid advisor in your state.

That s not true. You are not disqualified for a pell grant because of a drug conviction. If you received a drug conviction WHILE you were receiving financial aid you lose it for one year, or two years for the second offense. If you have no drug convictions then you are eligible for pell grants. I have convictions I ve been through this and I know. I m getting financial aid, theres no issue.
