Answer 1 :
See your high school guidance counselor to determine what local scholarships are available. Sometimes there are small scholarships that are not well known. Call the Financial Aid office at FIDM for their advice on possible scholarships. The basis for financial aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) The FAFSA is available on line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. You should go ahead and fill that out. Your college will need that before they can assess your need. The FAFSA determines how much your family should be expected to contribute to your tuition based on family income and size. The college will then determine how much financial assistance you qualify for through grants, loans, and student work-study programs. Only get a loan as a last resort. Be persistent. Talk to as many people as you can. Get everything done as quickly as possible. It's hard to tell what will have to be done first and it's best to be prepared.
Answer 2 :
It sounds as if you've already checked with FIDM regarding possible scholarship info. If you haven't don't assume there isn't anything available. They may have some leads for you. Another great source to check out is: http://www.schools2colleges.com/school-grants.php
