Hi Erniya - great question!
I would encourage you to search the internet for scholarships of ALL kinds! There are thousands of random scholarships out there with the most random qualifications. Something I did in high school that really set me up for success is setting a goal to apply to 1-2 scholarships a week. This really increased my chances of covering my college expenses. Additionally, I always found a part-time job during college to help cover some of my expenses, which was very helpful.

Consider the cost of your career and the cost of college. Not everyone is meant to go to Harvard (or other very expensive schools). In reviewing job applicants, the school they went to isn't a priority. Do not spend a ton to get that degree!
Enjoy your time while at school. You will not have a mortgage, a car payment, or another adult responsibilities. Have fun, but study hard!

That's a great question, and it's a bit challenging these days. I suggest starting with an associate's degree. While studying, try volunteering or getting an internship to explore different careers. Make a budget to manage your finances. Be cautious with student loans. Aim for scholarships to help with costs. Consider getting a summer job and see if you can work on campus while attending school.
