Applying for Scholarships

Tweet

I have absolutely no idea where to start on getting scholarships, because (I really shouldn't be paying a lot of attention to this) I've heard that scholarships are more difficult to earn than attempting to get into a college you would like to join. Since the beginning of my senior year, the only two things I've done based on scholarships have been : register on fastweb.com & cappex.com attempt to get the scholarship for anti-bullying on Facebook. Where do I go from here? There's been so many scholarship opportunities that have been sent from the sites themselves, I just don't know where to even start after clicking that "I'm applying for this scholarship". Most would require an essay, of which I don't understand where to send it to. So far, the only scholarships I've gotten were based on my academic skills. I've also filled out the FAFSA, but other than that... I'm just kind of hoping that much like a fisherman, a fish will just eat the bait in time for me to catch it.
