Just a few words of advice: apply for as many scholarships as you can. Take your time on the applications, fill them out correctly, and write an APPROPRIATE essay (you wouldn't believe how many scholarship essays I've read that actually don't address the topic--probably because they recycled the essay). There is a LOT of money out there... if you find something that you're the right match for.
But also a word of caution: never "count" on scholarships funding your education (before you actually "get" them). The scholarship "game" is a complicated one--so complicated that sometimes you'll sit there scratching your head when the winners are announced (or possibly scream "WTF!?!?!"). I only mention this because I was in that situation about eight years ago... and was "heartbroken" a few times. I did end up finding some $$$... but not necessarily from where I expected (and it definitely changed the school I attended!).
That said... apply apply apply... and good luck!!!!
