Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I myself don't know a good one, but get on the web! Do some research on some schools, and look for info on their marine biology courses! Compare schools to each other, and maybe visit some, just to check them out! And scholarships? Hmmm......for marine biology? that's a ough one. Again, look it up on the Web and do some research! The best of luck to you!

There is even a poetry one scholarship!
The point is that you need to find a scholarship that outlines a talent or characteristic that you have.

If you are still in high school, you can probably find out information on scholarships from a high school counselor. There are financial aid offices at practically every college. The application at the college for financial aid usually includes a section asking if you want to be submitted for any available scholarships. Besides scholarships, you can get government grants, and student loans if you need to. If you are motivated, you will find a way financially.

About marine biology, I live in Florida, and I happen to know several people with degrees in marine biology who are not working in that field. One is a vetinary assistant, another cared for tropical fish at a pet store, and one returned to school and is now a physical therapist. That doesn't mean you won't complete a degree and find a job working in that field.

Well, it'll have to be a school by the ocean to start off with. But if you're really limited financially you don't want to be asking us what the best school is... you want to go somewhere close to home that's not too expensive. Look into public schools near a coast. Biology is one of those degrees where most people go into some sort of graduate school after their first degree, so it's stupid to get your bachelor's at an expensive private school, in my opinion. Go public and make sure they <i>have</i> a program, it doesn't have to be the best in the country it just has to be there.
