The only grant out there is the Pell Grant for undergraduate students. Unfortunately, it does not come close to $20,000 because it is capped at $4310. It is based on your family's income, family's savings, your income, and your savings. It is plugged into a formula to come up with the exact amount in aid that you qualify for. I will include some free resources to locate money for college.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, the high school guidance office has a list of local scholarships and state scholarships & grants.
Fourth, a campus work study job can help with money needed during the school year. The program is funded by the federal government. It will be a job on campus and most times can work to your availability schedule. There should be a box on the FAFSA form for it.
Fifth, fill out the FAFSA form after January 1 of your senior year of high school. It will qualify her for need based financial aid from the federal government and the school itself. It will come in the form of scholarships, Pell Grant, student loans, and the work study program.
Sixth, study and practice for the SAT or ACT tests. It can help bring merit scholarships from the college itself.
Seventh, states do offer grant and scholarships for students with excellent grades. Search Google.com and Yahoo.com for these grants and scholarships with your state's name.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

Grants are not ordinarily given for undergraduate studies. Grants are given to researchers to continue a specific line of inquiry that the Grantor is particularly interested in.
