If you know of any related scholarships let me know.I desparetly need help finding scholarships because I want to go to college and do something with my life. Help!

Answer:
try going to collegeboard.com or other college sites. there is a whole thing you can fill out, like what applies to you and what doesnt, you get to check off if you are a foster child, etc.
i put two links for you.
There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.

Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/lion's club etc. Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!
