Answer 1

Is your mom your biological or adoptive mother?  There is a scholarship for children with a parent with cancer.  I think the info can be found on the American Cancer Society web site (www.cancer.org).  

Also, see what school-specific scholarships may be available.  Ask your school counselor or the financial aid office at the school you will be attending.

Answer 2

fastweb.com

scholarships.com

talk to your guidance counselor

did you fill out your FAFSA? you could qualify for some grants

Answer 3

Try Fastweb.com, also look for a college that gives generous Financial Aid - Ivies, Amherst .  . .  Generally, if you describe your situation in the Financial Aid app, they will consider it. Also, apply for smaller scholarships. Big once are really tough to get. The $500, $1000 ones add up and are a great help.
