I am reposting this from the Tumblr we used to use for blogging.
A lot of these will be Georgia (Atlanta) based, but not all. Just read through these. Also, more of these will likely help the class of 2018 and beyond.
http://newhaanda.tumblr.com/post/136937876058/its-ya-girls-college-scholarship-masterpost (another girl on Tumblr compiled a list of scholarships, check hers out)
Apply for scholarships and financial aid specific to your college. Sometimes, they will send awards based off of GPA, test scores, etc. in your acceptance letter. Definitely start there, first. Also, make sure to read information, some scholarships or applications require renewal.
Check out corporations and orgs like McDonalds, Burger King, WalMart, etc. They tend to give away scholarships. Organizations you’re a part of in school as well.
Often times, high school alumni will give out scholarships, so check your school. Sororities, fraternities, and other programs of that nature as well. So, check with all of these orgs.
State funded scholarships/grants (for Georgia it would be Hope, Zell Miller, Pell Grant, etc.) check your eligibility for that
Go to college fairs. Occasionally, they give acceptances and scholarships on the spot.
