Hi Megan,
If you are still in high school, talk to your counselor. They often have information on scholarships. Bigger colleges and universities have a financial aid person or even a team. If your college doesn't have one, talk your advisor. Most schools have some financial aid available for those who need it.
Beyond schools and counselors, check with your church, your parent's workplaces, local charitable organizations, including local chapters of national organizations, like Elks. Most are small but they add up!
Spread the word and ask friends, family, anyone you know for suggestions.
Good luck!
