You gotta do what you have to do. Unless you have a 3.0 in high school then your options are limited. If you are still in high school talk to your counselor. They should have all the information that you need. If you're in college already the best thing for you to do is go to your major department and ask about departmental scholarships.

The only thing I get is the Federal Academic grant that only lasts for 2 years and a Pell Grant. I got those through the FAFSA.
