There are a few top places to search for websites, such as Fast Web (www.fastweb.com) and the College Board (http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp). Also, the colleges to which you apply will undoubtedly have some scholarships available as well.
While searching for scholarships is a great way to try to finance college, you should definitely keep in mind that many schools offer federal and school-based grants, which are determined by financial need. To be eligible for these, you need to fill out a FAFSA each year beginning in your senior year of high school (available at www.fafsa.ed.gov). From my experience, most people end up with relatively little funding coming from scholarships and a lot coming from grants, so make sure to fill out to pay attention to the FAFSA deadlines and any other financial aid deadlines the college have.

I found a ton of scholarship on this site called Free Scholarship Guide. They offer a scholarship of their own, as well as a scholarship search tool with thousands of scholarships for all sorts of keywords.
hope this helps!
