Answer 2

The most important thing you can do is make sure your parents complete the FAFSA (Free Federal Student Aid) - do so in January of your high school Senior year and each year that you are in college.  Check in with the financial aid offices of the colleges you're interested in and see if they have programs to help you pay for your college costs.  Also check out http://www.fastweb.com - this is a free site that lists scholarships and awards for students heading to college.  Do NOT ever pay anyone money to "help you find scholarships" - those are all scams.  Good luck!

Hello how are you? First of all you having a lot of volunteer or community service experience will definitely increase your chances/rate of success. What I suggest you do is use a scholarship search. A scholarship search allows you to create a profile and receive information for all the scholarships that you are eligible to apply for based on your profile description. Scholarshipsupport.com actually has 2 free scholarship searches available right now. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
