You have several sources:
1.) Federal Money. The FAFSA (Free Aid) determines the need of your family and doles out money accordingly. Usually it is in the form of loans that must be repaid though.
2.) Once FAFSA is in, you can often apply for aid from your state. I got a very generous grant from California (doesn't have to be paid back).
3.) You're school. With the FAFSA and state info in, your school then computes your need and how they can help. Do not expect much more aid from public schools, but private schools usually help more here. They can then offer loans, but it is usually grants and scholarships. (some of these come with stipulations, such as continuing in an activity, or keeping a GPA). Loads of potential money here, but it requires more research.
4.) Independent (non school-dependent) scholarships.
Use this site. It is amazing for pulling up Scholarship Research
www.fastweb.com
It will tailor its results to your interests to bring you the best scholarships you are most suited for. Apply. Nothing is guaranteed to be won, but it's worth a try.
5.) Local scholarships.
There are many local organizations that can't wait to give away money. Rotary International, Daughters of the American Revolution, Banks, Charities, Churches... keep your eyes open, involvement up, and ask everybody you know if they are aware of something. I earned a tidy little scholarship by asking an adult friend in construction, who sponsored me in a scholarship often has more scholarships to give away than applicants.
Asking will only help.
Good luck, and be perseverent.

The library has a book on grant money along with the college should have a list specific to your college available to the students. My favorite free online source is at Fastweb.com which is regularly updated with new scholarship programs out there. It also provides an email alert of new scholarships that become available. It covers both undergraduate and graduate school.

This will take a bit of work. I'd start off by actually applying for a college -- many scholarships look at that first before even considering your application (they're not going to pay you if you don't seriously intend on going to school, and if you're going somewhere expensive, that actually can contribute to the "financial need" portion of the application)
Go to the public library and head to the reference section; there should be at least two or three books listing various scholarships, categorized by financial need, affiliation, and ethnic or minority status. Make a list of ones that you strongly qualify for and a separate list of ones that you marginally qualify for -- some of the more obscure ones go completely unclaimed in some years because no one applies for them at all, most likely because they don't think they come close to qualifying. You can also look up various organizations that you may have had some dealings with and see if they offer a scholarship (Boy or Girl Scouts, Campfire, Future Business Leaders of America, Junior Achievement, Honor Society of America, etc.) Don't forget your school's career counselor, who can point you to other resources. There are also scholarship services that seek out and apply for scholarships for you (for a fee, of course). Just be careful to read the fine print -- most guarantee that they will find you at least three scholarships that you can apply for, but I'm willing to bet you can find three times that many on your own, if you're willing to do the work (and remember, they don't guarantee that you'll GET those scholarships, only that they'll find them for you) Apply to as many of them as possible; this will take a few weeks of very concerted effort on your part, but will be worth it; when I first went to college, I applied for twelve scholarships and got three, and some of my classmates considered me lazy for only doing those twelve... but considering where they ended up in life, I don't feel so bad *evil grin*

Some could only handle one pentacle , others two and some five . Even though the parable of the talents discloses a slothful and wicked one-coiner , many who could only handle one coin could get saved . Pentacles in the Tarot correspond to relationship . A one-coiner can only ' get it ' on his or her conduct being valid . A two coiner can apply the two coins on the marriage relationship . Such two coiners aren't saved automatically they must ' trade ' relative to Atonement and relationship successfully . Such then achieve to their sins ' paid for ' . A person whose abilities allowed it can relate to the concept of Politics , institutions , and even the family , of course their success also is not automatic they must ' trade ' with a view towards Atonement and a larger sphere of relationship . a politician for example has the ability to relate to the national family tree . Clearly any politician isn't automatically noble so , a number of them even though having five pentacles could fail to have their sins paid for . The Pentacles are an eternal continuum factor Jesus uses to pay for peoples sins with . The bankers are an Antichrist factor Jesus has the right to get back his Pentacle from , the interest is the one coiner saved . One coiners can find eternal nobility but to avoid sloth and connected wickedness must believe in a totally fair and square Godhead and act in accord with that belief .

Try signing up for some scholarships online. One such scholarship is a $10,000 giveaway that doesn't have many requirements. You just have to be 18 or older (but can have a parent register for you) and be a permanent resident of the U.S.
Try http://www.FreeCollegeScholarships.net
Good luck!
