<p>this website is helpful, but i’m not sure how much they’ll have that will be relevent to you, since you’re only a soph:</p>

<p>also try the scholarship search on the collegeboard website (<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegeboard.com</a> –> click on students –> click on the search for financial aid or whatever it’s called on the upper right side)</p>

<p>As most scholarships are awarded on a year to year basis, I doubt you will have much luck this early. You will probably get many more results in Fall of 2007.</p>

<p>Two that come to mind are
For all high schoolers
The Ayn Rand Institute:

<pre><code> For Juniors
The Discover Card Tribute Award Scholarship program:

<p>I just found this great list of scholarships for many different ages by googling “scholarships for high school sophomores”:
<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/average.phtml[/url]”>http://www.finaid.org/scholarships/average.phtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and this list of “unusual” scholarships:

<p>and some general advice & links for HS Sophomores:

<p>The last five above were all gleaned from one internet search. Try changing the words around and you can find more resources. Be creative. Try googling “essays for scholarships” or “poetry awards.” Also, check with your HS counselor or College & Career Center. Also, use the internet to find other high schools from your area and look at their lists of scholarships. </p>

<p>There are a lot out there and it is time consuming to hunt them down. If possible, try to get someone to help you (mom, granddad, sis). I would also suggest that you set-up a separate e-mail account to use only for scholarships and college-related searches. Make use of “Favorites” in your web browser to set-up a tickler file by month due in a Scholarship File. For any that you do enter, set up a paper file as well. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
