scholarships?

Hi! I'm a first-gen Turkish-American HS junior based in SC who's interested in dual majoring in polisci/international relations with minors in film, acting, and history! It's my DREAM to go to NYU, but they seldom provide merit based scholarships. My family is middle-upper class, so we don't qualify for a whole lot of financial aid, but my parents can't afford to send me to NYU.

I've been applying to scholarships on BigFuture and Bold.org since I was a freshman, but I've received nothing.

Does anyone know any scholarships to apply to so I could afford college if I got into NYU??
