I posted this answer for another kid so here is it again if it helps you... You can apply starting from 11th grade. The requirements change based on the college you apply to. So let's try to see the requirements in two devisions. A. What You Need/Must Do/Have -You need to have these things to apply 1. SAT If you don't know what it means it basically is like matric. Only difference is that it is easier and only has Math and Eng tests. Search Google for more research. If you want to register you can register on www.CollegeBoard.com It is 100 mnamn dollars. You need someone from a European or American country to pay for you meselegn. Paypal lay or credit lay. Like I said kelal fetena new. Gn yaw katenahew malet new. 2. Transcript This is easy to get. You get it from your school. And you must have it. Scholarship or not. 3. Recommedations These are basically letters from your teachers to the college of your choice. You atleast need 2 of these from 2 different teachers. 4. Essays When you apply to colleges they wamt to know about you. They want to know your academics (SAT, transcript), your hardworking quality (extracurricular activities), and they need your personality. You sometimes have to write 4 essays when you apply to big league colleges but most only want 2. The first one is about your personality. You literally can write anything about yourself. 550 words last time I checked. Your second essay would be an answer for the question "Why did you choose us?". It's easy. Say good things about them and tell them a fact about their college that you like mnamn. B. What Additional Things you can do If you do the things I already told you in a good way then you will get a scholarship very easily but the problem is that you won't get a full scholarship.

Extracurricular (having an amazing participation in clubs and being a leader to some) or 4. Shortcut (money, people, or an amazingly crafted application) Good luck
