I am not an expert on this, but I have had some experience dealing with college expenses for my kids, and this is my understanding:
Scholarshps/grants for college tend to be of two varieties -- financial-need based and merit based. Amateur/professional is rarely if ever an issue for anything other than sports, as already indicated by Skip.
For financial-need based ones, the calculations are based typically on parents income/wealth + students income/wealth vs tuition/room/board/expenses. I doubt that selling a few prints will change this equation by much.
For merit based ones, having sold some prints while still in high school would certainly be a feather in her cap, not only for merit based scholarships/grants but also for admission to the photography programs at the colleges of interest.
Edited for spelling
