You could apply to the Financial aid office of the university/ HE institute you will be attending. Usually most facilities have some sort of scheme which may or may not be available to you. It never hurts to ask.

Visit with the financial aid office at your college for information and assistance. You will very likely have to complete a FAFSA (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov).\n\nThe best place to find merit scholarships is the scholarship office at the college or university you plan to attend. After you've contacted that office, you should also work through your local sources: your or your parents' employers, fraternal organizations in your area (Lion's Club, etc.), your church/diocese/synagoge, your youth group/athletic team sponsor/coach, your high school counselor and your high school principle. Then visit your local library and browse through their reference books on college grants or go online and search for grants at sites such as www.fastweb.org.\n\nBest of luck! \n\nSource(s):\n\nHill Country ECS http://www.hillcountryecs.com\nThe Future Prep Workbook (College Planner) http://www.lulu.com/content/264487......

You don't . . . provided you have enough money to pay for your education yourself. Or, you can just apply for student loans like thousands and thousands of other people and then pay off the loans after you receive your degree.  But, if you qualify for a scholarship, why wouldn't you want one?  Apply for as many as you qualify and hope for the best.  Good luck!

Scholarships are harder to get- you have to apply, most times write an essay and be very exemplary for someone to want to give you a scholarship. \n\nWhy? Because a scholarship is free money, a gift. Money to go to school, pay for books, etc.\n\nLoans you also have to apply for. First fill out a FAFSA form. These you pay back everything and interest on them. This is NOT free. You pay for loan money. \n\nLoan money is designed to pay for everything that grants and scholarships don't cover.

The answer is, it depends.  Scholarships are generally competitive in nature, requiring that you make good grades or have an above average performance in something (say music or athletics).\n\nNeed-based aid (grants, loans, etc.) is available, however, to those who can demonstrate that they need help to pay for college. Visit with the financial aid office at your college for information and assistance.

Most colleges and universities have a Scholarship Office or resource type center.  IUPUI has a Scholarship Office. Have you contacted that office to see if they can be of any assistance to you?  317-274-5516.  And, check out their website below.\n\nAlso, if you are still in high school, ask your guidance counselor.  they may have some advice for you.\n\nAnd, many local organization offer scholarships.

There are scholarships out there and many. Some are renewable and some are not. Colleges do offer merrit scholarships if you meet certain criteria and maintain it in areas such as grades. Most outside scholarships are judged by an interview or a written essay. Doing your homework about the organization really helps. I will provide sources for both application tips and locating scholarships. Each of these items do not cost a single penny.\n\nFirst, apply at FAFSA.ed.gov the fall semester before you start college. It will help you tap into need based financial aid from the federal government and the college itself.\n\nSecond, if you are a current high school student, check with your high school guidance office because they have a list of local scholarships and requires only an application to get consideration on receiving it.\n\nThird, 35 states have a websites where high school students can apply for college admission and for state college grants by searching Google.com and Yahoo.com for it. If your state is not one of these states, search your state government's website.\n\nFourth, the college's financial aid website lists private scholarships offered by companies and organizations.\n\nFifth, search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships based on your ethnicity, college major, and religion. There are scholarships out there based on these items.\n\nFinally, join several free membership scholarship websites. Most are updated on a regular basis.\n\nIf a company is promising you guaranteed scholarships for a fee, do not do it. Much of the work can be done by yourself for free. Unless your time is very tight, do not use the service. However, the fee could be better spent.\n\nI did notice from one source I came across that a guaranteed scholarship came from colleges and universities. The student met certain criteria such as grades or being a member of the National Honor Society. There is a list at Guaranteed-scholarships.com. It is a small list of colleges, and the scholarships are listed by college and shows the amount.\n\nGood luck!

write a good essay, tailor each essay to each specific scholarship you're going for, and apply to as many as you can. The wider the net, the better chances of landing a scholarship. talk to your professors and counselor.

From the Government:\nAlways start with your Federal aid application -- file your FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and make your it gets to the school(s) you're interested in. This will determine your eligibility for Federal Aid programs, state aid programs, and many institutional/private programs as well.\n\nFrom Schools:\nCall your schools' Financial Aid Office to see what other programs they might offer besides Federal/State aid. Make sure you know if you are eligible and what you can do to apply. See if they have a list\n\nEven if you are no longer enrolled in high school, go visit your High School guidance office to see what they recommend. Some offices will collect scholarship listings that you can browse through\n\nFrom the Library:\nGo to your local library. They might have a similar list of scholarships posted somewhere. If not, at the very least, they should have dozens of College Planning-type books that you can look through (for free!) to get ideas.\n\nFrom the Internet:\nThere are numerous resources out there to help you prepare and pay for college. Try registering with any and all of the below scholarship search sites:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com\nhttp://www.srnexpress.com\nhttp://www.scholarships.com\nhttp://www.scholarships101.com\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp\nhttp://services.princetonreview.com/default.asp?RUN=%2Fcollege%2Ffinance%2Fscholar%2FscholInterview%2Easp&RCN=auth&RDN=7&ALD=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eprincetonreview%2Ecom\nhttp://www.collegeanswer.com/paying/content/pay_free_money.jsp\n\nApply for as many scholarships as you can.

You don't just sign up for scholarships, you apply for them.  Go to your library or guidance counselor and ask to see a book on the scholarships available.  Determine what the requirements are, and be sure the student works to meet the requirements.  I don't know any scholarships that will award them before they are to be used, ie you wont get scholarships for a 10th grader to use in college, but the student can certainly work to meet requirements for various scholarships for later use.  Also look at the colleges he or she wants to attend, and see what they are interested in.  There may be low profile sports that will make the student more interesting and there may be scholarship money available through sports... Do your research, and ask colleges what kind of benefits package the student might be eligible for.

Go to your college counselor and discuss what scholarships they may be aware of. There might be something offered right there at your school that you will qualify for.\n\nAs for scholarships that require essays, find someone that is very good in English to help you with the essay. Not write it for you but to help you with wording suggestions and to proof read it for you, etc.
