Hi Yadiel,
Here is a link I found helpful: https://www.consumerreports.org/paying-for-college/tips-for-scoring-college-scholarships/
To summarize the article:
1. Target merit aid from your desired college
2. Find your fit and focus on specific scholarships not ones with broad criteria
3. Go Big & Small (Apply to both national and local scholarships)
4. Focus on your intended career; the more specific the better
5. Start early
I would talk to a guidance counselor if you are still in school. They might have some helpful information and give you a sense of the scholarships you are eligible for.
