Scholarships for graduates

I'm a recently graduated senior, starting my first college semester in the fall, and never knew that I could apply to scholarships/financial aid until very recently. I make minimum wage, so my job cannot support for tuition. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way for someone like me to make some college money in time?

I need around 4k per semester, and retook the ACT to get better financial aid (a 33 composite) but when I asked, they said they only took the ACT I submitted with my original application.

I would back out and re-apply for a closer-to home college that I could score a full ride at, but I have already paid a $400 application fee, not to mention this is my dream college (Hendrix, AR).

I'm relying entirely on scholarships, coming from a single-parent household that makes less than 50k a year.

Thank you for any advice, I deeply appreciate it.
