To be fair there are way more full ride academic scholarships than full ride athletic scholarships given out by the schools themselves. Just have decent SAT scores and apply to schools in multiple states that are likely to already give you some other form of scholarship like UofSC, Alabama, Ohio State, etc. ...I hear private schools offer a lot of these as well.
note: these are not income, gender, or race based scholarships.
Also the FAFSA cutoff is around ~$400k/year so even if you think your parents make a lot you should probably still apply to that so that you are eligible for more at all colleges even if you don’t qualify for any FAFSA money...you need to apply to colleges now.
(Many high-schoolers don’t realize that they need to apply to college before/ at the beginning of their senior year, in August. There are allotted spots and scholarships for applying later but some students apply so late that they even miss the spring deadlines for the schools they wanted to go to. Applying early could mean several thousand in scholarships every year for four years that eligible people who applied late could have gotten...a lot of money to a college student)
Also juniors, some majors like computer science have paid internships for rising freshman (aka. high schoolers) that are first come first serve like the national labs super computing internship.
Crazier still the easiest time to get into dream companies for most majors is as a freshman before you even really started taking your classes - freshman&sophomore college internships expect you to know nothing - as you apply for internships at these companies in like September being exactly the same as your other classmates and yet that “stamp of approval” early on typically snowballs into the best opportunities at other companies and an extremely successful life.
