Answer 1 :
You can go on the SU or NYU web site to see what scholarships they offer and what the requirements are for them. there are all kinds of scholarships with very different requirements. go to your public library for college scholarship info and ask you guidance counselor if they have a list
Answer 2 :
Scholarships are not normally "state specific" unless you're applying to a specific university/college scholarship program, then you have to use it for that school in particular. Most scholarships are awarded to the individual to use for whichever school they choose to attend, regardless of where the scholarship is awarded originally. Some are specific and require that you be attending a university/college in your state, so just be sure to read the eligibility requirements for any scholarships you apply to. If you're filling out a FAFSA (and you DEFINITELY should be), then they'll enter you into a scholarship pool there and the award committees will see that you live in Nevada but intend to go to school in New York so they can decide what they want to give you. Any other scholarships you'll have to seek out on your own. Good luck!

Answer 1 :
It's usually a few weeks before classes start that you get the check, only if there's anything left after they take out tuition and stuff. Registering for classes is usually a few months before. But this is different for every college, so google your college and find out more information on their site

Answer 1 :
The same as other people. If your parents are going to claim your exemption, you can't earn more than $3,500
Answer 2 :
You still need to file your taxes and you will get it all back. I am not sure of the dollar amount but I have made some pretty decent money while working two jobs and got all my money back. (I'm a FT college student as well)
Answer 3 :
Being a full time student doesn't make the answer any different than if you weren't. If you make over $400 from self employment, or over $5350 from a job where taxes are taken out (that's the 2007 number - 2008 will be a little higher) you don't have to file a return. But just filing a return doesn't mean that you are not a dependent of your parents. If you provide over half of your own support, they can't claim you, but as long as you stay below that, you would still be a dependent and able to be on their insurance even if you did file a tax return.
