Great question, Jacob! My advice is that there are a lot of scholarships, both "big" scholarships as well as local scholarships and awards, as well as scholarships and awards for people who specialize in a certain area, or represent the values of the person for whom the scholarship was established. I would encourage you to reach out to various local organizations who may not advertise their scholarships, such as the chamber of commerce, rotary club, social groups, etc. Also, if you are involved in certain activities (athletic, academic, etc.) do a search to see if there are groups in the area that provide a scholarship in that field. Expand your search to your state. I was able to find scholarships and awards locally and state-wide. Also, contact your college or university about any specialized scholarships. Likewise, in some colleges, the departments may not have a scholarship just for students in that department. Search also for national scholarships available to students interested in STEM. Finally, also apply for available aid and scholarships offered broadly. Good luck in your search!
Start local, there are many local organizations and clubs that offer scholarships, even if not advertised
Expand to looking state-wide
Look at organizations in your area of interest
Ask your college or university about specialized scholarships or those specific to your department
Apply to as many as you feel qualified for
