Some schools have a secondary ED, which is basically ED (in the sense that its binding), but it's in the regular round. My personal advice, after you have your college list, apply to your dream school ED if they have it. And other than that, try to apply EA everywhere. The benefits outweigh the cons. It'll save ya a headache down the road. 7.
You can apply for scholarships before, during, and after college applications starting this summer. Some college honors programs have scholarship/honors college deadlines that are earlier than regular application deadlines, so be sure to check. Google the differences between Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision applications.
When Are College Deadlines? Most students apply to college in the fall or winter of senior year. Schools offer a few options for deadlines, usually one or more of early decision, early action, regular decision, or rolling admissions. Early deadlines are typically in November, and regular deadlines are commonly in January.
Conversely, if you're already in college there are a bunch of scholarships which are open to current college students. Apply for them. It's never too late or too early to begin paying for college. My parents recommended that I look into scholarship handbooks, which are basically giant semi-curated lists of scholarships.

In college, you are expected to keep a high GPA while at the same time writing applications. If your dream school as a high scholar was Yale, Princeton, etc., you might need to reconsider.

If you want merit aid, look at a college's common data set and scroll down to the H section. It gives data that you can use to find how many people get merit aid and much each person gets on average. If you are from California, apply to schools outside of UCs. So many people get screwed over by UC admissions.
There may be such a thing for your college, university, department, general area of study, etc. Find them, they are happy to have you and help you - their funding depends on your success. Maybe find a many-generation-college-student also, it's nice to ask them (and if they don't know, they can ask Grandpa.).
