You selected the best time to apply for college scholarships. I recommend using several approaches to locate money to attend college. I will list some free resources which should help you 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!

If you fill out a profile at http://www.ScholarshipExperts.com , you will get a list of awards you are individually eligible for. There ARE scholarships and contests available for current high school juniors, but usually the award money is held in a trust account until you start college.
Its good that you are starting to look early! Make use of free scholarship searches, your high school's guidance office, and Google and you should have no shortage of scholarships to apply for. Start with state and local awards since they have less competition, then apply for ones with national eligibility.

Be sure to talk to the colleges you are interested in attending about their instituitonal scholarships. Most have scholarships available through the admissions office and that you must apply for early to get. If you talk them now, you would be sure to have the application process and requirements ready before awarding. Good luck.
