Answer:
check with the school you want to go to, they probably offer several scholarships. Also checkout scholarship websites like Fastweb (www.fastweb.com). they have a huge database of scholarships, not to mention lots of tips for applying, filing out financial aide stuff, etc.

You should try http://www.fastweb.com/ . You just have to create an account, fill in all of your info and they find all of the scholarships that you can apply for.

I think you should talk to ur counselor or go to the college and go to their financial aid office

The sites above are mostly contest like nationwide and that lessesns ur chances like alot!!

Go to local scholarships! Go to a school counselor or the actual college...u should be able to get financial aid!
I'm sixteen and homeschooled too, and want to go to college early aswell, I am looking at Thomas Aquinas college in CA, its a really great college, and has great student financial aids and everything, google it, its only major is liberal arts (philosophy) but thats really good, you can also take side courses and get scholarships there but you're gonna have to do some research on your part, whats your best subject...I'm a history nut! I like math too...well I like everything pretty much...

Go to your public library and check out the books on financing a college education and scholarships. I found a book the other day that listed every scholarship offered by each college.

You could also search Amazon for the names of scholarship books. After reading the reviews you would know which books to get out of the library. Sometimes a library will order a book if it doesn't have it and it looks worthwhile.
try collegemojo.com
if you think it is too late to start a sport, just concentrate on Standerized tests and GPA. If these are high you can get accepted fro a wide range of scholorships, but only grades will not help your chances of getting accepted at a school
I have found a ton of cool online scholarship search tools. A couple off the top of my head are Free Scholarship Guide and 10k Scholarship.

You can search for scholarships by keyword. Hope it helps!
