If you know what you want to major in college then you can start looking at scholarships but for most you won’t be able to apply for then until you are a senior or have picked the school you are going to attend.
The requirements on scholarships differ for each one you apply for so you want to make sure you pertain to the ones you are applying for. Most will ask have certain GPA, school and major criteria, so make sure you meet the requirements before applying.
Good Luck!
First, your high school guidance office has a list of local scholarship and state grant programs.
Second, the local library has a book listing scholarships with some not even located on the web.
Finally, join several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for almost anything out there. I recommend applying to as many scholarships that you qualify for on their characteristics.
Good luck!
That said most colleges do not even look at anything you did in junior high unless it is something you continued to do in High School.
I think you should try out some new hobbies and find something that you like ( even something that may be unusual) that will help you stand out from everyone else. Maybe Karate, Joining Habitat for Humanity, Learning how to sew and making blankets for Homeless people.
Join or found a Leo Club (total community service).
Take cources that will challenge you not just ones that will improve your GPA.
