The earlier, the better. Since many of them require you to write essays, provide transcripts, get letters of references AND do all of that prior to their deadline, it is important that you plan ahead. Check with parents, family members and friends. Many employers, credit unions, alumni boards offer scholarships to their members' children or relatives. Some of the scholarship websites like FastWeb can be a bit daunting, but if you put in the footwork early it will pay off.

No later than early in your senior year of high school.
Good luck.

Summer/Fall of your senior year - complete the FAFSA as well as scholarship applications. Once you know where you might want to attend, check the schools websites to find scholarships specific to those schools and apply for those as well. Apply for any and everything, even if you think you might not receive it. You would be surprised the amount of scholarships that go unclaimed. Check websites on-line to learn more about scholarships, grants, etc. Grants will be based on income so in the case of receiving grant monies ($ that you do not have to pay back) it is better to have lower income. Scholarships will be based on achievement of some sort, academic, athletic, music or based on some type of other criteria (fi.e. first generation to go to college). The later you apply, the less the chances are.
