What is the best way to go about finding scholarships?
I don't think I'm going to qualify for much financial aid, but there is also absolutely no way I have enough saved to go to my dream colleges, which are out of town.

Anneliese,
Don't be dismayed - the biggest mistake most families make when considering the cost of college is getting over-concerned by sticker price. Apply for all aid first so you can compare apples to apples. I can't begin to even tell you how many families I've met that swore they couldn't afford school due to the cost - only to find out that what the child qualified for made it affordable! Sure, this doesn't work out for everyone at every college, but don't get too worried about it until you apply for all of the aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other sources that you qualify for.
In the meantime, check out websites like Scholarships.com, Fastweb.com and Chegg.com/scholarships for scholarships.
Good luck!
