Well I'm 16 and turning 17 this August. After this year in high school, I will only need 8 more credits to graduate from my high school, but the state only requires 20, so I am planning on going to a community college and finish my high school credits there so I won't have to waste another year in high school. I am really ready to start my life, even though I am young. But I am very excited...My question is though after I graduate in the summer how do I go about finding scholarships...do they only grant them to people who graduated from an actual high school or does it matter? I am going into Cosmetology if that helps. I don't have much money and I have to do everything on my own because it's just me and my mom and were broke. But I am worried that if I graduate at the community college, that I plan to start my college education they will not give me grants or scholarships....Any advice? Please help! My high school won't give me any help or advice.
