Well you should be taking any psychology courses you can get your hands on. For instance an AP Psychology class will help you when you eventually go to college. Your GPA requirement depends on the college or university you decide to go to. Most teachers or sites recommend fastweb.com as a tool for scholarships, but be careful not every site means to use your information for good deeds.
You're welcome. Smile

The entry level degree to be a psychologist is a doctorate, in most cases. Good doctoral programs are very competitive, so you'll probably need about an A average and at least 18 hours of psych classes. Those competitive programs also usually provide full funding for grad students though. For undergrad, check the big scholarship sites as well as that of the schools you apply to. My school gives generous scholarships, and it gave the first psychology course west of the Mississippi.
