As someone who was in the performing world an has friends/family get extra roles in films/ TV an some modelling work, the one thing I was always told was real agency's never ask upfront for money, they get money from the job an then take their cut after paying you, there are so many scams out there an they pull you into believing its all for online portfolios an yet you never get chosen for any work
I'd say hunt around for agency's, it's hard an honestly feels like you are getting nowhere but if it was easy then everyone would be doing it, the best thing you can do is take some photos yourself or even a friend to take them, natural photos is the best an just throw yourself into submitting them to every agency you can find, like I say, it's hard an even professional models will tell you that they got turned away from like 60 agency's before they were picked, you need to remember your probably competing with 2000 other kids an most will already have connections to things like older siblings in stage schools or already in a agency, I myself had that connection from family members an still went through hundreds of auditions for things
Good luck with it if you choose to go for it, it's a hard world to get into
