Hi Munachi,
There are a lot of scholarship opportunities out there. Your challenge will be to find the ones that you are most likely to get. Scholarships can vary from those offered by universities to those offered to people based on some feature about them. What are some of those features? You can get scholarships based on what you want to do - like being a script writer or a business leader. You can get scholarships based on your area of focus, academics, athletics, STEM, or if you have an economic need.
I would advise you to check out websites online that offer scholarships. You may also want to check with specific employers. For example, my company (AT&T) has employee groups that offer scholarships every year. They are often scholarships for students who have a focus in a specific area. For example, HACEMOS at AT&T wants students who "Demonstrate a commitment to or impact on the Latino community". You do not have to be Latino to apply for the scholarship, just show that commitment.
Good luck on obtaining a scholarship.
