<p>I don't know how the whole scholarship thing works....im applying to 4 UC's and 7 privates.....can someone explain to me how i can get scholarships?</p>
<p>Start by using scholarship searches found at <a href="http://www.scholarship.com%5B/url%5D">www.scholarship.com</a>, <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a>, and <a href="http://www.fastweb.com%5B/url%5D">www.fastweb.com</a>, etc. There are many online searches you can use. See if any libraries have books on scholarships -- I have one compiled by Kaplan. It would probably be helpful if you had some techer or school counselor recommendations on hand to send.</p>
