HI! Each university offers scholarships specific to their school, and sometimes even your major. Beyond that, and because I have done this with 2 of my own children, you should seek outside scholarships based on need and merit. Some of the big ones are Coca-Cola, Ronald McDonald, and the Gates Foundation. (you can google these)
Additionally, there may be scholarships that you can find via Google, based on your race, gender, or being the descendant of a veteran (these are just examples). Also, you can go to the library and get books on scholarships, grants and fellowships. I found these very helpful, as they were broken down by university, major, and specifics like ethnicity.
Last, try some of the websites to help you search for more college money! Good luck and remember all the scholarship deadlines are coming up soon!

Hi Monica,
Do not give up just yet. Go to your school's financial aid office and see what other options you have to pay for school. You can also get in contact with your school alumni affairs office and ask if there are any scholarships/assistance available as alumni have their own scholarships that they award new and current students. You can also do an online search to see what is available as well.
Don't throw in the towel just yet. There are always options.
