The best place to start is by filling out the FAFSA form. It will qualify you for the Pell Grant (if your EFC is below 4300), state grant (in some states), work study program, need based scholarships from the college's endowment fund, and student loans. It takes into consideration your family size and utilizes a percentage formula of your income and savings at a higher rate along with your parents' income and savings. This needs to be completed every year until you graduate from college and completed before the school's financial aid deadline. The form becomes available on January 1 of each year for the upcoming academic year. I will also include some other sources to locate money for college.

First, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships for current high school students. These are the easiest to get.

Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. You complete a form, and it will search for scholarships based on what you entered. There is a scholarship for almost anything including wearing duct tape to the prom.

Good luck!
