It's never too early to start saving up money for your college education. Even if you are only in your first or second year of high school, there are plenty of opportunities to start bringing in money that will pay for your tuition, books, fees, and living expenses a couple of years down the line.

You might be surprised to learn that there are actually hundreds of scholarships available to underclassmen. If you're just starting your hunt, use this list of the best scholarships for high school freshmen and sophomores to get started.

This list includes a variety of scholarships for freshmen and sophomores. I've broken them down into the following categories:

Essay Scholarships

Special Interest Scholarships

Creative Scholarships

Hobby- and Activity-Based Scholarships

Location-based Scholarships

Easy Scholarships

These scholarships are not limited to one college or university, so students who win these awards will be able to use them for a variety of schools.

How to Use This List of Scholarships for Sophomores and Freshmen

Before we go over the scholarships you can apply for, let's quickly review the best ways you can use this list of scholarships for sophomores and freshmen.

Rule 1: Play to Your Strengths

Start out by looking at the different categories below. Are you creative? Then consider applying to some of the scholarships that require artwork or a movie for their applications. If you're a strong writer, on the other hand, consider applying to scholarships that require essays.

Rule 2: Apply to Many Scholarships

The beauty of starting your scholarship hunt early is that you have a lot of time! So use it wisely to apply to as many scholarships as possible.

We recommend applying to anywhere between five and 30 scholarships. Most scholarships on this list and beyond are competitive, meaning many students will be applying for them. You'll increase your chances of winning money if you don't put all of your eggs in one basket!

Rule 3: Pay Attention to Details

Make sure you read all the rules carefully before you apply for a scholarship, and be certain that your essays and other application materials address what is being asked. It's a waste of time to apply to scholarships if you're going to end up disqualified simply because you failed to follow the instructions.

Similarly, make sure to stay on top of important deadlines. You don't want to miss out on a great scholarship because you accidentally missed a due date!

Rule 4: Do Your Own Research

Keep in mind that this list is just a starting point. There are many more scholarships available to younger students, and there very well might be some that are more suited to your talents and interests. Don't be afraid to do some Google searches to see whether there are any scholarships out there that correspond to one of your unique traits.

Remember, the more obscure a scholarship is, the better your chance of winning it will be!
