Depends on the school you're aiming for and the country you're in.
There's always, of course, a sports scholarship, but those can be hard to come by.
Sometimes you can get financial assistance for being a minority or coming from a family below a certain income range, but those aren't really factors you can control.
If you're in the United States, do well on the PSATs. This will qualify you for the National Merit Scholars program. Finalists (sometimes even semi-finalists) get offered free rides at a few decent schools, and a lot of money at others.
Some colleges also offer free tuition for being the valedictorian of your class.
Even with my mediocre test scores, few extracurriculars, and less-than-stellar high school, I got a free ride out of the blue at my dream school. A $40,000 a year dream school. So don't count yourself out. Just do your best and see what happens.

Doing your best in school and studying hard will help you to get good grades. Students who have good grades and a high grade point average have a good chance of getting a full scholarship.

anyone who gets into Harvard and who's family has an income below $40,000 gets a free ride.
other than that, find something you care about and apply yourself...it could be rescuing kittens from trees...colleges don't care as long as you show that you can do something and stick to it.
Also, it's much easier to get full rides from state schools and small schools. Small schools are always really homogenous and looking to add diversity so play up anything that is unique about yourself.
