Send a (very professional) email to your local university asking them if they would have any need for a research assistant/intern in the fields you are interested in. They may not, but it doesn’t hurt to ask, and if you can work with them it would be very beneficial for your education and your application.

Otherwise, I’m not sure what grade you’re in, but if you’re old enough, GET A JOB (the caps were necessary). It shows dedication and maturity, not to mention will earn you some extra spending money.
