How can I get more scholarships next year

So for this year I have everything covered, but next year I will be loosing a scholarship since it is only awarded for one year, which means I'll loose about $4000 in aid. I'm planning on getting a cheaper dorm and going for a cheaper meal plan but I'll still be a bit short. I also have the regents scholarhsip, and originally I had received about $4,400, but that recently got cut down to about $3,400 for the year, will the regents scholarship be adjusted again next year or am I stuck at the lowest adjustment they gave me?
I was thinking of getting a job during winter break, maybe get some money as well as summer but it's kinda hard getting even a part time job back home, so I was wondering if I'm able to keep applying for more scholarships or am I only able to get the ones awarded for me when I got my first financial aid package?
