The College Board has an entire page designed for finding scholarships. If you're not already, I would sign up as it offers a lot for people getting ready for college. Here is a quick link: bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search

Are you serious, lottery. There's no way. Maybe having good grades and academic performance could have good scholarships

I mean you can't just get all a's and 99th percentile tests and expect that the scholarships will come to you, you have to do stuff like essays and actually seek them out. NMSC is a pretty solid scholarship, and really not that difficult to become a finalist too, just a psat of 1500+ and some recommendations (trust me I know many people who have gotten it). I am a year younger than you, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Extracurriculars are also pretty helpful, as I know many medium to small sized scholarships are focused on a particular sport or club. I warn you though, med school is extremely difficult so be prepared. Good luck!
