Answer 1

Best place to start is with your HS counseling center, they know of hundreds of scholarships and are always helping seniors apply for them.

Spend some time in couseling center researching the counselor's "best sites".  They have dozens of them.

You should also approach your employer, many large corporations have scholarships, or offer internships for college students.

Second, approach your church, likewise, your minister will know about various scholarship sites, as they have been to school too, and are always good references for students in their congregation.

Then, check out government sites.  Both the FBI and the CIA offer scholarships, and internships, and potential jobs for those who finish their program.

There is also the military, that gives money for college after finishing a 4 yr enlistement.

I've given below webpage for FBI, to give you example, it's mostly for College Juniors.  You son may want to pursue a cheaper "community" college program before switching to 4 yr university.

Answer 2

fastweb.com could do it. But does your son school list some scholarships for Senior to apply to?
