She is 18 and has a job at a hotel her grandfather was an American citizen but he is dead now. Her father has a visa i believe but her parents are divorced. She was born in colombia and has no criminal record or anything like that. She is going to school, is there a way to get a school related visa if so how? she would live with me and my family so she has a place to stay.

No, you cannot do anything. If American Embassy does not want to give her a visa, the only way to go is to reapply after one year (or so, they will inform you what is the appropiate period) and reapply again and again and again.
Sorry.

Sometimes it depends on the consul whom your friend is asking a visa from.
One of the major issues why people are denied because of financial reasons. Your friend must have a big financial backing both in Colombia (he or she won't have a reason to illegally stay in the US)
and/or the US (he or she won't be a burden to the government or any other entity). If those issues are not answered then it is almost impossible to get in the States..

That's too bad but the only thing you can do, is to visit her. You have no control over the visa situation for visitors.

The best thing she can do is go to the American Embassy in Cali.
How close of a friend is she to you? Has she been in america, under a different name?

Well you can write her letters of support! But, no short-circuiting the visa process...
