Does anyone know of talent contests in or around new jersey with cash prizes to help me pay for college

Does anyone know of talent contests in or around new jersey with cash prizes to help me pay for college?
I am a singer and dancer. I need a contest that offers either a scholarship or cash prize to help towards college. Preferably in New Jersey, but New York or somewhere in the tri-state area is fine. It can be anything from a local Karaoke contest to statewide competition. PLEASE HELP!!!

Do you know any inexpensive liberal arts college in New York or New Jersey

Do you know any inexpensive liberal arts college in New York or New Jersey?
I've been researching liberal arts colleges as of recently, but a lot of them are very expensive! I've barely seen any under $40,000. So, if you attend, or know of, an inexpensive, yet still good, liberal arts college in the New Jersey/New York area that does not require me having a trust fund, can you please tell me so I can look it up. Thank you =]

Answer 1 :
Most liberal arts colleges are excellent with financial aid. Don't get scared away by the "sticker price" - at many of those schools a huge percentage of students get merit-based scholarships. Tuition at my school was listed as $36,000, but I don't know anyone who paid that. So continue your search for less-expensive schools, but reconsider the financial aid you might get from the schools you've already looked at.
Answer 2 :
If you are a NYS student, the SUNY schools are great, especially Binghamton, Geneseo and Buffalo. At Alfred University [not Alfred State], you can enroll in the state-supported part of the college [for fine art or ceramic engineering, etc.] and pay less tuition. Don't know the tuition at, say, Ithaca College or Nazareth College, but you might look them up.

Answer 1 :
Ramapo is a really great place. People there are very friendly. I would strongly recomend that you live on campus. The parking kind of sucks but freshman are allowed to park on campus and (hello!) laundry is FREE! It's famous for being a "suitcase school", meaning everyone goes home on the weekends. So not really many huge parties. But every now and then you get a big party which usually gets busted by security. So you're better off just throwning your own party. Personally, find an awesone RA to live with and depending on how cool he/she is you can do whatever you want. If you need any other advise feel free to send me a message. Have a great time, behave, and good luck!
