Hey Abraham, great question! Applying for scholarships can be a bit overwhelming, but there are some solid places you can start. hope this helps.
1. Scholarship Search Websites: Websites like Scholarships.com, Fastweb, and Cappex are perfect for finding a variety of scholarships. They let you filter by your field of study, location, or any other criteria that suits you.
2. Your School: Don’t overlook your high school. Many schools have specific scholarships for students, especially for those in their senior year. Ask your guidance counselor for the inside scoop.
3. Local Organizations: Check out your local community organizations, businesses, or even religious institutions. These places often offer scholarships for students in the area.
4. College Websites: Once you have a list of colleges you’re applying to, be sure to check out their financial aid or scholarship page. Many schools offer merit-based or need-based scholarships.
5. Unusual Scholarships: If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, look for those “weird” scholarships like those for specific hobbies, interests, or even the "tallest student" awards! (Yes, they exist!)
And remember, be sure to tailor each application to show how you meet the specific requirements and highlight your personality. No one’s looking for a robot—they want to know you!
Good luck, and have fun with it! Just think of it like a treasure hunt, but with more essays. :)

Abraham, your first step is talk to your school counselor; school districts usually host a college fair where you will have the opportunity to meet representatives from colleges and universities and U.S. Military representatives. I recommend you arranged an appointment by phone or in person with financial aid office at a college or career school. Also you can click https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid/types/scholarships for more information. Good luck!!!
