If your family income is indeed over seven figures, then you won’t qualify for need-based aid and filing the FAFSA won’t affect your admissions chances at any place that practices need-aware admissions.

Contact the scholarship organizations, and let them know that you are filing the FAFSA right now. Two reasons why they might ask for the FAFSA would be
a) there is a need component in the decision-making process of who to award the scholarships too
and
b) they want to make sure that students who do have need will be able to get access to federal and state money in addition to the need-based award
