Hi Joanna, when you apply to community colleges or universities be clear in your essay or personal statement about majors & careers you are most interested in. Then apply to private scholarships : Fastweb.com or scholarships.org & include the same info about your goals/interests. Consider community colleges first for an AOS too & then transfer to a state university in Illinois - you'll get instate tuition & many states have guaranteed transfer if you have a good GPA. check with your HS -college counselor for scholarships to apply for within your community too

Hello! I suggest you get in touch with the financial aid office at the college you prefer. They can guide you to scholarships and financial aid that you might be eligible for. Searching online is also a good way to find local or less well-known scholarships. Community colleges tend to be cheaper than large universities. If you're interested, Harvard now offers free lectures on their website. Best of luck on your journey!
