Most universities offer scholarships. There are also many independent organizations that offer them. Usually they are divided into the following types:
1. Academic performance based
2. Passion / skill based - ex: dance or sport specific
3. Community specific - ex: latinX or for women in STEM
4. Essay based
I suggest spending some time researching independent scholarships based on the criteria above you feel competitive in. Don't look past small stipend amounts as they tend to have less applicants and can add up!
When you are accepted a university, you can also review their financial aid website and/or meet with their financial aid specialists.
Lastly, be sure to take advantage of any state / federal financial aid programs such as FAFSA.
