Answer 3

Study now, and do your best on the finals this year.  They are a big part of what colleges look at when deciding to admit you.

Also, don't slack off as a senior.  Take good solid academic classes, and do well on them.  It WILL make a difference.

Fill out the FAFSA application early, and start talking with the financial aid office at the colleges you're interested in.  Look around in your community for other sources.  Your school guidance office should have a list of many scholarships.

Don't rule out student loans, either, but know which ones are good, and which to avoid.  Perkins loans are very good;  Stafford loans are next in line.  Private loans can be very expensive and burdensome.  You want loans that are subsidized, meaning that the interest on them is deferred until you leave school.  On an unsubsidized loan, the interest accumulates from the day you sign.  If you borrow $10,000 as a freshman, the interest may add up so that you owe $11-12,000 or more when you graduate.
