Trying to study in the USA

I am currently going into year 11 and 15 years old but I would like to move an study in America for the rest of my education (around 3 years I think) I'm not sure if it is possible but I'd also like to apply for scholarships too. I currently reside in the UK so I'm not too sure on how to do what I want to do and the steps I would need to take. I was thinking doing an exchange programme but that only goes on for at most a school year. Another problem is that I do not have any family that live in the US either so I'm not sure how I would be able to do this. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. I would just like to know how I can apply for scholarships. How to get a visa to study in the US for 3 years and Who I would be able to live with during those years

Have you thought about applying for boarding school in the US? A lot offer financial aid (scholarships).
There’s some sixth forms that provide help to get into American universities, it might be worth looking at some. Also, there’s the Sutton trust programmes. Try to look for programmes at those universities for international students.
If you are a GCSE student, I would highly recommend applying to the NCS Sixth Form, as they provide all the support you need to apply to American universities. 3 students in my year group have secured £1 million worth of scholarship to study at Harvard University and Princeton University. They even provide a trip to America for 2 weeks residential. And as suggested previously, you should also apply for the Sutton USA programme as they also provide such help.
