I'm not sure this will help you at all, but the 2 scholarships I got were through our local 4-H program. I applied for tons of scholarships, essay contests, etc., and didn't get anything. I would really encourage you to look for scholarships that are offered through groups or programs you are involved in. There was even a scholarship through my swim league! Of the 2 scholarships I got 1 required a short essay and they both required high school transcripts. From what I've seen, it's all about the presentation. The committee on the one scholarship said they were impressed by the entire package I submitted which was the application, my essay, and the transcript.
Anyway, as far as other scholarships, you can look at several websites. I used scholarshipexperts.com, scholarships.com, and fastweb.com. You will have to create accounts for all of them. That's how I heard about most of the ones I applied for. I think it's hard to get some of those national scholarships because so many people apply for them. I would try and look more locally. An example was I applied for the Knight Essay Contest through the Sons of the American Revolution group and I didn't receive the national award. However, I got 2nd place in the State contest. I hope that makes sense!
Be sure to watch the deadlines. They creep up really fast! lol And don't worry if it seems like it takes FOREVER for them to post the results! Most of them take a long time!
Hope that helps.
