Saw a special offer that might be of interest to the juniors and seniors here. U.S. News College Compass is offering a free year of their college profile search. Not sure if it's any better than some of the other resources out there, but at the cost of $0, it's not a bad option to have. Apparently Google has a special deal going on with them.
Trying to find a college scholarship to help you continue your education you will have to approach various sources. One of them is your own community - the hospitals and foundations among which many give scholarships to students who want to attend a college in the specific state or in a specific study field.

Social interaction is not the only use for networking, it can be used to boost your studies and progress your learning through crowdsourcing education.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with applying to more than one college, and most high school counselors encourage it. However, you shouldn't apply to a hundred different places, either.
