One place that I was able to get scholarships from was BYU: http://saas.byu.edu/depts/scholarships/ which is funded by The Church of Latter-day Saints.

Basically, all that they required was that I write an essay "demonstrating need". So, I basically poured my heart out to them in an essay telling them why their money would be well spent on me.

I didn't take all my courses with them. But I was able to take a number of courses through them with the scholarships I received and then transfer those courses back to the college of my choice.

Sometimes scholarships and other financial assistance can come from the most unlikely places.

Yeah...truth is, there's a lot of little-known scholarships out there.  Just takes a lot of research.
