Hey does anyone know of scholarships that aren't TOO hard to get? I am pakistani, a female, not too outstanding but in dire need of financial backup...any suggestions?

go for the liberal arts colleges. They offer financial aids, which is essentially a form of scholarship but is often need-based instead of merit-based. Colleges in the top 50 (US Ranking) often give out financial aids quite generously to admitted international students. Some are even need-blind. The same is true for colleges like Harvard, Princeton and Yale, I think.
Some links to look at:
www.bates.edu Bates college - need-blind
www.middlebury.edu Middlebury College need-blind
www.swarthmore.edu Swarthmore College not sure
www.amherst.edu Amherst College, not need blind but generous if you get accepted.
www.williams.edu Williams College need-blind.

Just to name a few. Take a look for yourself at www.usnews.com
Good luck applying.
