How much do scholarships help?

I’m a junior in HS and I’m looking into an expensive college. I have a decent GPA, but many CCP classes and AP classes. I’ve had a rough life i would say, so i feel like that would help to get a scholarship for a college, i mainly am self supporting of myself financially even tho i’m a junior in HS. any advice on how much scholarships help in the long run?
