Hello Neaz. I am excited to see that you are interested in furthuring your education and proactively looking for assistance. I saw that one of your hash tags was engineering. I recommend to look into the Stokes Educational Scholarship Program. This is an Undergraduate Training Program. It's a program that focuses in computer science or computer/electrical engineering. This program will also give you work experience with a year-round salary.
I hope this helps you and wish you the best of luck.

Local libraries, are a free and excellent source for researching scholarships based on potential desired disciplines, for example. For you (or others that may read this), if you are in the top 5% of your class, you likely also have a guidance counselor in your school that has a role for advising on tools and references that can be used to research scholarships.
On a personal note, I was the beneficiary of many college scholarships, most of which I learned about through sources like Kaplan and my high school guidance counselor.
The "best" scholarships may be those that offer the most money or focus on a specific discipline (many of them are STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) focused) or for a specific school.
In any case, there is a lot that you can learn about good scholarships. Keep in mind that most of these scholarships have consistent requirements including essay writing and recommendation letters from teachers.
Good luck!
