<p>I think you would also be eligible for a Cal Grant ([Grants</a> for College Students, College Grants, Grants for School California: Cal Grant awards](<a href=“http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=11]Grants”>http://www.calgrants.org/index.cfm?navId=11)), so I would look into some California schools. </p>
<p>If you are going to look for scholarships, the “local” ones have better odds. Your public library/ high school might have a list of them.</p>
