What state are you in? Some states like Georgia have scholarships that everyone can get if they meet certain requirements.

Can someone help me too?
I'm a latino who got a little above average grades, want to study computer engineering

Being a minority even with average grades is already a huge leg up, scholarships should be very easy to come by

I live in GA. Are you talking about Hope or is there something else I don't know about?

Well OP, I had a lot against me and was only eligible for a handful of scholarships: I'm white, parents made 80k+, plus all of my parents and grandparents have degrees (AKA I'm not a first generation college student). I spent my free time in high school playing video games and browsing the Internet so I didn't have much to speak of in terms of extracurriculars and volunteering. With all that said, I got a free ride for my two years at a local community college because my GPA exceeded 3.50. Still got that university debt though boyeeeee

I used College Greenlight to track and organize scholarships that I was eligible for. Google around, you'll be surprised how many smaller, lesser-known scholarships you can find. Anything about you that's different? Minority race or sexuality, unique extracurricular, non-standard family situation (adoption, foster, etc.)? Include that in your search terms. When I was thinking of pursuing STEM as a female, there were a lot of them available for that specifically. Plus, go to your high school and ask the appropriate people about what's available to you. That's how I found out about the community college one. Also I hope you know how to write because a lot of them require essays.

If you are not white or Asian, you can get a scholarship with little effort
