You might start looking at local colleges and universities.
Much of successful scholarship attainment, has to do with where you look for the scholarships. They can come from two primary sources, either private or public. One area people might not know about is the College Foundation option, at local colleges and universities.
College Foundations connect many of their scholarships to specific subjects, activities, majors, ethnicities and classifications. These are normally scholarships, that are supported by private individuals or businesses.
You might find scholarships for students who are first generation college students (neither parent has a college degree), students who are focusing their major on teaching, science subjects, engineering or radiology, or students who might be of a certain ethnicity.
Most of the time potential applicants can find nearly anything that fits into a classification or subject that defines them or their future goals.
All colleges and universities have foundations that offer scholarships. I would log into the website (of the college you are attending or wishing to attend), and research the ones which apply to you and your particular interests.

Websites like Scholarships360, Fastweb, Scholarships.com, BigFuture, Bold.org, and Chegg Scholarships are excellent places to find scholarship opportunities. Don't forget to check out local scholarships, state aid, and your school's financial aid office, which can offer even more options.
Keeping your grades up and getting involved in activities like community service, clubs, and volunteering can really make you stand out. A well-written and honest essay, along with strong recommendation letters from teachers who truly know you, will further boost your application.
Starting your applications early each year is a smart move. Keeping your documents like transcripts, résumés, recommendation letters, and activity lists organized will make the process much smoother. Remember, scholarship committees look at the whole picture, including your academics, activities, and personal qualities. Keep going, and you'll find the right opportunities for you!
