Really you need good grades or a strong need. You can find some trustworthy websites that offer scholarships and apply to as many as you are capable of. Also, some jobs will offer school reimbursement so you could find a part-time job that will pay for your school. Try to get good grades and a high ACT/SAT score so you will have the merit you need. Also if essays are required for any scholarships make sure to do a good job so you will show you are a willing student.
Good Luck!
Also although they aren't huge I recently won the sophomore scholarship which helps so make sure to sign up for those.
