No, most universities look at qualifications and then at need when awarding scholarships. It seems like you are well-qualified on your own. Also look at places like fastweb.com . They have a huge range of scholarships available to almost any one. I've been doing some research as I am also a need based student. Good Luck!

Ask for information on applying for financial aid and any deadlines that you have to meet.  Then follow through with their directions ASAP.  Your should also contact the scholarship office on campus for information on merit-based  scholarships (those awarded to students with good grades; and endowed scholarships (those financed by alumni or local corporations).  Once you've done this, you can start looking at alternative sources of funding.  Private/corporate scholarships and grants are indexed in a variety of places (on-line and in books at your local public library).  You might also check with your or your parents' employer  to see if there are any scholarships available.  Also  check with your church, synagogue or diocese; local fraternal organization (Lion's Club, Shriner's, Optimist's, Rotary Club); and if you belong to a youth group (boy scouts, girl scouts, etc.) or athletic team, check with the sponsor to see if scholarships are available.
