Take the completed FAFSA to the school she plans to attend. If the EFC is zero, chances are that she could get a full-ride scholarship.

A LOT. EFC is the expect family contribution. The government has determined that she can contribute $0 for her education, and will therefore fund most, if not all of it. Keep in mind that some of the aid will be loans which much be paid back, and/or work study.

EFC=0 means that your sister's family contribution to her education is $0. This means that she can't 'afford' to pay for college, this is calculated by her FAFSA information. Her financial aid award will include enough money for tuition, room and board, books, and educational related purchases (computer, calculator, etc.). She will be well taken care of...

Whatever school she goes to they will pay for everything. the family has to contribute 0, which means nothing. She will receive an award letter that will show her how much money she will get, she will have to accept the award, and most likely they will pay for her classes first then give her the rest of the money. This year for spring I was awarded $2,045 from financial aid and $400 from another grant I was qualified for. They paid $498 for my classes, and I applied for a E-Funds Card through Chase Bank to receive the rest of my money from the school.

The only good answer is to take the results of the FAFSA (SAR -Student Aid Report) to different schools. She has 100% need, which means she will receive quite a bit of assistance, but very rarely is everything covered based on the FAFSA.
Every university is different, and your best option is to speak with a representative at each school, discover your best offers, and negotiate! If the school wants you bad enough, they'll do what they can to get you in there!
