What major would be best fit if I want to pursue Occupational Therapy, what scholarships are there to apply to in this field, and where would I go after a 4 year establishment to continue that goal?

Ever since I was small I knew I wanted to be an Occupational Therapist, and I’m having a tricky time seeing what majors is the best fit to pursue. Considering how expensive this field can be to pursue, I’m in need of some scholarships to make that happen.
