College is coming

I'm a junior in high school. I'm a pretty smart girl and very athletic. I am in the honours class; I work hard on my school work.

I had advance to regional in cross country, three years in a row. Advanced in track also. And I’m thinking about going to college but I’m not really sure what I have to do to get stuff from colleges or how to get a scholarship.

I’m my parent's first kid and my parents don't know how to either. I’m scared that I won't go to college just because I didn't know how to do this. How do I get stuff from colleges and scholarships?

Not sure which country you are from. Procedures are different.
You have internet...

Search colleges of your interest near to you on the internet. They have all necessary information on their web pages about it.

Simply write a letter explaining your interest in studies and request information how to apply. E-mail it.

You maybe call them as well.

Also ask at your school about it. Each school has plenty of information available.
Do a research on internet. Google it.
