    I mean you can try the website fastweb.com

    you fill out a profile and it shows you the scholarships that you are eligible for ..

    but majority of them are for the following school year, and require your high school transcripts .. so you really only have a quarter .. maybe a semester on your high school transcript, which most likely would not be enough to show them ..

    but try the website I gave and see what’s available.

      Usually no- most scholarships specifically say that they are for the following school year

      You can apply for anything, but I doubt you’d meet the usual requirements for obtaining a scholarship for college.

      Most scholarships are open to incoming college Freshman… you don’t "win" them "early" and "hold on to them" until you are old enough, and have gotten your degree.

      Let me word is this way: Most scholarships require you to graduate from high school the year you are applying for the scholarship. So, in that sense, you would not be eligible UNTIL your senior year in high school. Just do your best, and you’ll apply when you are "of age."
