I'm eligible for merit scholarships in every category but SAT scores. My highest score is 1260, which isn't bad, but its not enough for most scholarships. Any tips on finding other scholarships?

My SAT scores are the only low point in my college resume. Otherwise, I graduate high school with a full AA degree from dual enrollment, 3 varsity sports for 4 years (captain for 2), member of National Honor Society, 16/691 rank with straight A's, as well as holding 2 jobs, an internship, and over 150 hours of community service. I always assumed that would be enough but the SAT scores have prevented me from getting most scholarships

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Collegeboard.org is a great resource for this! I poured through the pages of universities all over the U.S. when I was a senior in high school. Collegeboard was my go-to site! They put all of the information in one place and it is very easy to use. They even have various filters you can apply to see only colleges that have programs you are interested. To determine academic rigor, look at the admissions requirements, G.P.A. of past admitted applicants, SAT/ACT scores, class rank etc. This will give you an idea of what scores and grades you need to be accepted. However, don't be discouraged your application will be reviewed based on the full picture! College-board will help you get an idea of what is most important to the specific school you are applying to.</span>
