Kiss up! Tell them what they want to hear!  You can always change your major again once you finish your core classes (I did ;) .)

Scholarships are harder to get- you have to apply, most times write an essay and be very exemplary for someone to want to give you a scholarship. \n\nWhy? Because a scholarship is free money, a gift. Money to go to school, pay for books, etc.\n\nLoans you also have to apply for. First fill out a FAFSA form. These you pay back everything and interest on them. This is NOT free. You pay for loan money. \n\nLoan money is designed to pay for everything that grants and scholarships don't cover.

You might be able to get a scholarship from the college you want to attend and maybe a part-time job for spending money. Contact the admissions offices of the schools you want to attend and ask them. Good luck.

You should be looking at a variety of sources to seek outside scholarship help. I know you are looking for one source but you could miss out on some scholarships that might not be listed on that particular website because they do not have a web page devoted to it. Also, it takes time once you apply for consideration for a scholarship to hear back from them.\n\nFirst, check with the financial aid office and website because they list private scholarships from outside sources such as organizations and companies. Also, sometimes your major's website might list some scholarships.\n\nSecond, check with your local library for a scholarship listing book. There are scholarships out there that are not listed on the web.\n\nThird, check with your employer or your parents's employers to see if they offer a scholarship program or help for college students.\n\nFinally, join several free scholarship search websites because a scholarship might be listed with one website but not another. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search.\n\nGood luck!

Work on your English before you apply!\n\nBut seriously, most universities have on-line applications these days, both for admission and for financial aid.  While most scholarships go to Americans, and at state universities to citizens of that state, some of them are open to foreign students.  But you will need very good English, because you will be competing with those who have spoken it from birth.\n\nYou might also check whether your government, or private foundations in your country or in America, offer scholarships that are not tied to where you go to school.  For example, many large corporations have non-profit foundations associated with them for tax reasons.  There are also non-profits that focus on a particular problem, such as the cure for a specific disease.  They tend to have scholarships which are specific to the fields in which their interests lie, such as pre-med and medical school for a foundation to combat a disease, or economics for a foundation interested in combating poverty.\n\nGood luck!

You could start by just make sure your doing your best at your events and meets. This means doing well enough to go to state and regional competitions. You can also decide what college you want to go to and see if you can go to any camps or events to see how much competition and hard work it takes to do this as a career. Make sure though above all other things that you keep your grades very high, this will allow to be able to get a scholarship with your athletic talents. Also keep focused on what you want to do, not what others want and expect out of you.

I assume that you actually care about going to this school.\nYou need to tell them the truth. Just include the good reasons why you want to go to this particular university. Mention the things that would make a person want to go there.\nDon't say stuff like your parents want you to or its the only place that you think you can into.\nI assume that you actually care about going to this school.

Advantages...\n-a chance for higher salaries\n-be around all types of people (opens your mind to new things)\n-increase your career and future opportunities\n-gain much more knowledge\n-greater sense of responsibilities\n-enjoy your young adult life\n\nDisadvantages:\n-does not guarantee success\n-costs too much\n\nI think college is a good way to really learn about yourself and to learn about other people.  But the career opportunities is up to you, if you intern or study abroad, you have a greater chance at getting a great job upon graduation.  I think it's a good opportunity,  but go with your heart.  I thought college was worth it, even though Im doing something totally different than what I graduated in.

Well if you are in High School most of the colleges want your SAT scores.  Why not have some volunteer work or community services under your belt? Or why not be a part of the debate team at your school or some known academic club.

A scholarship is an award of access to an institution and/or a financial aid award for an individual (a "scholar") for the purposes of furthering their education. A scholarship is generally awarded based on any number of arbitrary criteria, which usually reflect the views or purposes of the donor or founder of the award.\n\nAnother meaning of “scholarship“ is the pursuit of a research subject, usually in arts or humanities (as opposed to science). In both scholarly and scientific fields, the word “scholarship“ is used to mean deep mastery of a research subject, often achieved through university studies.\n\n\nTypes of scholarships\nScholarships may be classified into two primary groups.\n\nMerit-based - financial aid for which financial need is not used to determine the recipient. The recipient may be determined by students’ athletic, academic, artistic or other abilities. The actual monetary value of the scholarship may be negligible, the scholarship being meant to motivate the student and promote the study of the subject. However, this is not always the case and the largest scholarships are almost always merit-based. \nNeed-based - financial aid for which the student and family’s financial situation is a primary factor in determining the recipient. Usually such scholarship will cover all or part of the tuition and may even cover living-costs. Very often even need-based private scholarships require the awardees to be distinguished students, as the deed founding the award may include a phrase like: “for the studies of founder's favourite subject in founder's favourite institution of higher education' for a talented youths of limited means from founder's home town/county/state etc.“.

Something that will make you stand out among all the other applicants.  Something that will make them remember you.  If your educational goal has to do with something you experienced, discuss that.  Explain how it brought you to your decision to major in whatever.  Try to relate a personal story with your decision.  Don't forget to include why you want to go to that particular university.  This isn't a statement all about you - it's about you and why you want to go there.  Is their a particular program you are interested in - and why.  A particular instructor's research?  Why this university?  Tailor your statement to each particular university you are applying to.  \n\nMost importantly - don't forget proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling.  Have someone else review your final copy.  No errors!
