How do I go about finding scholarships that I have an actual chance of recieving?
I am taking a gap year, and since I am no longer in high school, there are not as many resources available to me. I need help figuring out how to find scholarships. #college

Hi Eden. Have you looked into the AmeriCorps program? You can get some experience in a field that you find interesting, while receiving a living stipend. At the end of the 10 month term, you earn an education award that you can put toward future education (or some types of student loan debt). I served as an AmeriCorps member with Habitat for Humanity and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
