I am majoring in Computer Science and I am planning to graduate my school with bachelor's degree when I will be 18. And then 2more years to graduate my master's degree.
I am from a poor country so it is like a nightmare to afford the costs in the US.
Therefore, can you help me with that please.
In addition, I am not able to work in the US because I am not an adult. I came here in the US on January 2006 and studied for the spring semester.
My parents will pay as much as they can for my upcoming fall semester 2006 but it won't cover fully my tuition and fees.
Honestly I do need now $3000 or more money.
Please help me. I am just 16 years old.

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.
People make the mistake of looking for one big scholarship to pay for everything when they should be targeting smaller scholarships that are more regionalized or specialized to their intended field or reflect something unique about them (son of Italian policeman, daughter of registered nurse, etc). Everybody goes for the big scholarships, the competition for those is much higher and your chances are smaller of getting it. Research and apply for anything and everything you are close to being eligible for no matter how small the scholarship.
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!

1st place to start is your local Financial Aid office. See what they have available to you.
Next look at your country's Dept of Educ website. Once you look at that look the US site. However, the UK often offers better financial aid packages
Try the following sites:

If your a good student join your local honors society and see what fellowships or scholarships they have for you. This is a start, Resale books for quick cash, and if you are doing computer sci, why don't you do quick fixes on peoples computers
If all fail write to Bill Gates
