How Can I know which scholarships and internships are worth applying and acceptable to apply due to my age?
1. Since some internships and scholarships are mostly for 16 years olds and higher, how do I know which scholarships and internships are for 16 and younger?

First you need to know what you want to study or aim to accomplish. If you are looking to intern for the summer, you may to check your church or local Chamber of Commerce if an opportunity exists for you to help and participate in their summer internship programs. Good character reference always start with participation in your local community. If you plan to participate in summer camps and need extra help, they may also be able to provide some form of scholarships.

Ensure the scholarship and/or internship is relevant to your aspirations. I would say if the details posted do not specify an age you should feel free to apply. I would suggest reaching out to the scholarship contact to ask prior in order not to waste your time in applying (especially if the application is lengthy or requires a submission of some sort) as well as the reviewers time if you are not eligible to receive.
