My best bet is to get her into the colleges financial aid office ASAP. Also, depending on her major, I would recommend talking with the head of her department for possible scholarship opportunities that relate to her field of study. The college will have much better counselors than the HS and they will be happy to assist in any way, shape or form. Don't be afraid to tell her to write a few essays and get some hand written recommendations from some of her HS teachers. There is also a state education grant down where I live that grants you money for basically continuing your education. Down here it's called Mississippi Tuition Assistance Grant (MTAG). Maybe your state has one? Although it is for in-state tuition costs only. Worth a shot at looking though. Its an extra $500/year for Freshmen/Sophomore and $1000 for Junior/Senior. Guaranteed if you apply.
Also, if she has time or is capable (I was not one of those students) of being able to work and go to college full time. I would suggest work/study on campus. Some of the jobs are flexible with hours. Not to mention she could get a job somewhere that may pertain to her field of studies.
Hope this helps a little.
