If you don’t apply, you have no chance of receiving one. We had a long list and chose the ones that seemed more available to the middle class. Mine received several local scholarships (all were renewable for 4 years), of at least several thousand per year. We also had good luck with the Coca Cola, Toyota, Elks, Best Buy, YMCA and Target scholarships. Again, not the big awards but when combined with school merit awards, it added up to very little out of pocket in the end. Even the ones that they did not win gave ours good experience and the feeling that they were contributing to paying for their education.
