Where are all the Scholarships?

So I have completed my ED application, and I have begun searching for scholarships..

...But I can't find any.
I know I'm starting late, but I don't know what scholarships and which ones I can apply for. I don't want to apply for just any scholarship I can get my hands on-- like the ones which offer a "chance" for money by referring 5 friends.

I don't know where to start, and I fear time is running out. Please help?

You can find out about local scholarships through your HS GC. Most of those will be for relatively low amounts and generally for fr year only.

Hopefully your ED school has good scholarships because that is where most students get scholarship $ - from the colleges themselves.

If you're looking for scholarships to help pay for FOUR years of college, then you're probably not going to find much/anything.

Most private scholarships are SMALL and only for freshman year.

Rarely can students find outside private scholarships that make any dent in four years of college costs.

If you want scholarships that are renewable for all FOUR years then you need to QUICKLY apply to the colleges that award them...those scholarship deadlines are approaching.
