(Not really sure this is the right community) I am just wondering, when and how do I start signing up for scholarships?

Hi, I am a sophomore, but I always like to be decently prepared. So I wanted to know when should I start applying for scholarships? And how do I start?

As early as possible. I started as a sophomore and haven't won any yet :((( but it takes time to get used to the rhythm of applying, finding websites, and writing so if you start now, then start now. I think a good start would just be to go to scholarship websites such as Fastweb, scholarship owl, etc.

Is there any specific scholarships that are like recommended for sophomores or can I just apply to all with no age/grade restriction?

I would try to apply to sophomore only ones because there's less competition. On many of the websites, there should be filters for that. However, you still can apply to those that are open to all highschoolers, it wouldn't hurt to try.
