Hey guys. I recently turned 18 and I'm a senior in high school. I'm applying for college with my first choice being gonzaga up in washington state. I have a 4.4 gpa and 28 ACT. Getting in is no problem. However, money will be. So I was wondering if any of you knew a good place to search for scholarships or some specific ones I should apply for. And here's some generic info about me that may help.
I'm a man, living in Oregon State. I plan to major in International Relations and minor in french. I am white and also like a 16th or 8th Pacific islander (no proof other than my grandma telling me that stuff as a kid). I also have aspergers. So if any of you guys have some advice I would really appreciate it.

Apply with FAFSA first, that'll net you your pell grant and sign you up for a few others. Your state should also have a few programs in place to get you some money as well, texas does anyway for your first time in school, dunno much else tho. From what I've seen the big bucks are reserved for the athletes and like the top 5% of high school graduates, and ambitious science majors.

Does your high school have any advisors you can talk to about this process? Perhaps you can attempt to call gonzaga and ask to speak to an advisor.

you can still speak with an advisor, call them
another thing you can do is put an ad in the local paper ATTN all business owners- tell your story, and ask for a direct donation which they can write off on their taxes. many restaurant owners will be happy to do this, you should try walking around downtown and speaking to owners, asking for a tax deductible donation to your tuition. they have to pay those taxes anyway and can write off charity so it shouldnt be hard to find someone.
