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.

I'm too lazy to write an essay for scholarship, there must be an easier solution?

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