The Financial Aid offices at the colleges try to match their students with available scholarships based on requirements of those scholarships. The way they get your information is mostly through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) which can only be filled out by citizens, permanent residents and a specific category of residents.

This application is made available on January 1. It is available every year on the 1st of January. You can pre-fill out the information, and save it, but you will need your parents tax returns-filed or not. Your parents can fill out the form with “estimated” tax information, that they can confirm at a later date, when they do file their taxes.
Otherwise, go on Fastweb and compete with the other hundreds of thousands of students fighting for money.
