Some private high schools offer scholarships -- check with the admissions office, and they should be able to point you in the right direction.

If it's a private high school chances are they probably have someone in the guidance office that can help you with a scholarship or a loan for high school. I went to a private school (Culver Military Academy) and the guidance counselors helped my mother get a loan through Key Bank to go to school there and there were also scholarships for students that did extremely well in school (but you'd have to participate in several activities as well and be getting very good grades in advanced classes many times. I got some help from my school because of my family's financial situation, but the kids doing the very best are the one's that got the full rides). All in all, I would ask the guidance counselor, admissions office, or the financial aid office, if one is available, about both of these options, but with scholarships you're not only at the mercy of the school but at the mercy of the alumni as well usually, at least from what I remember.

If the private high school you are wanting to apply to offers scholarships through their financial department, ask. They may look at your G.P.A., or be interested in any special talents you may have that you can apply to clubs they have. Math, Civics, Drama, Dance, Debate, athletics, even cheerleading. You may be able to search online for companies or other organizations offering (literally) free money to high-schoolers who apply for a grant, based on writing an essay, such as why you want to apply to this certain high school, what your aspirations are, how you intend to improve yourself, etc. Always follow the guidelines when applying for a scholarship. There are also books in libraries or bookstores that have this information. They may have it for colleges, but, they may list it for high schools as well. The government may also offer loans for your family's income bracket, or if you are an emancipated minor. Just some things to think about and look into. Also, be sure the private school has more to offer than the public school you are eligible to attend. Based on your needs, ensure that this school will meet them. Meet with a counselor from both schools, and make sure that you are not just getting a sales pitch from either. Good luck! :)

there are several banks that give private loans that are deferrable just like they are for colleges. You simply have to apply.
chase.com is a good one. bank of america also has educational loans for secondary schools...

Apply for financial aid at your particular school or ask a counselor.

There is nothing wrong with going to public school.
