text: how can i get a scholarships?   fastweb is a good resouce. also you have to fill out the fafsa (free application for federal student aid) this is what the government (state and federal) and the schools themselves use to determine scholarship eligibility. also, go to your college financial aid office, they have a lot of resources about scholarships for a given field of study or for a given religion or a given community. you have to go there to find out. also, my high school had a scholarship for people who's parents went to the high school too (multi-generational attendance). you might want to check with your employer or your parents employers too.   good luck.
