Well, I'd start at Yahoo, stanford's web monolith.  It's URL is:
http://akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/

They attract a great deal of commercial services, which is what you're 
looking at in all likelihood.  If there's a free collection of 
scholarships listed on the Internet, it's at a university.  And I'd bet 
that Stanford's got it.  Also, try phoning our financial aid office.  
They benefit (obviously) from having students receive outside 
scholarships, so I'm sure they accumulate information.  If I had a merit 
based scholarship (with or without demographic restrictions), and I 
wanted the best applicants, I'd inform the Financial Aid offices of the 
target Universities.  No sense keeping your money a secret from your 
target students.

Best of luck.  I get to start paying back soon.  I can't tell you how 
much I'm looking forward to that!
