I would like it to be easy so maybe a scholarship would help me.
Check for automatic scholarships on the colleges you are applying to! Like having a 4.0 gpa would get you X dollars wach year. Also, go on raiseme.com , they offer micro-scholarships to participating universities. They are things you are probably already doing, like taking AP or Dual Credit classes. Some schools give you a $500 scholarship per class!
You can apply for scholarships on bold.org. Depending on your GPA and test score you can also be eligible for scholarships through whatever colleges you apply to. You can usually see the scholarships they offer and requirements on the colleges's website under the financial aid section.
To keep this community safe and supportive:
Bold.org, Niche, and CollegeBoard's scholarship search tool (AP and SAT scores) are pretty good and easy resources to access. Bold.org has a few no-essay scholarships you can apply to, CollegeBoard's website has a TON of scholarships, but not easy to look through unless you use keywords and filters. There's also the Scholly App that has a free trial period. Highly suggest using keywords for these websites like extracurriculars, your preferred major/school/career, race/ethnicity, location, etc.
