Turn over every stone.
If you're not a straight-A genius who could easily win college scholarships, there's good news: Check out these popular College Confidential threads to see which awards average and above-average students are aiming at. Are your parents retirees? Are you a first-generation student? Is your family attached to any church or community groups? (Seriously, there are scholarships for all those things.) The secret to scoring major cash is following every possible source of funding.
Instead of going straight to a four-year institution, many students are choosing to start out at an affordable community college and transfer later. If these are options that could work for you, just be sure you have a solid plan in place, and don't let yourself get sidetracked from your goal of earning a college degree.
Take what you can get.
