There is a chance at finding scholarships at this time, but most of the scholarship deadlines have already happened for the fall semester or quarter. You need to start applying today. It might be near impossible to dodge not getting student loans due to it being in May. In adddition, I recommend joining Upromise which with every purchase place money into an account for school.
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, 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!

Go to Fastweb.com, you may be able to find something there.
Unfortunately, it is too late to apply for most scholarships for the 07-08 academic year.

Illinois will pay tuition to veterans. SIU also has a good ROTC program. If she joins the Illinois National Gurard they will also give her money to attend a state school.
