<p>Check colleges that you are interested in. Their websites will provide information on requirements for their merit scholarships.</p>
<p>Use the search engine on this site to check for schools with guaranteed merit scholarships.</p>
<p>Ask your school guidance counselor for information on local scholarships that you can apply for (my daughter had three renewable scholarships that she got that way).</p>
<p>FAFSA is only for federal loans and grants. The application does not get you scholarships for grades or test scores. Schools often use the information to determine need for aid, but it doesn’t get you any merit aid.</p>
<p>Also, some schools require the other applications for financial aid. Again, check the schools that interest you to see what they require.</p>
