April of the senior year is a little late to start searching for college scholarships because of the application deadlines set by the different sponsoring organizations out there. However, I will give you a variety of free sources to locate money for college.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.
Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

look outside the box while you want to go to a specific school apply for general scholarships from organizations and companies that are local to you as those scholarships can usually be applied to any school and are not just limited to the scholarships offered by the school. This is the best way to go plus apply for scholarships online like http://www.win-college-scholarships.com gives away a 10000 scholarship every 3 months that can be used at any school in US.
