Will be going to an out of state university next year. Is there anyway I can obtain scholarships/ funding through some sort of SCI/disability organization?

Have you checked with Bureau of Vocational Rehab (BVR)?

I don't know where you live, but in Canada, there is the Canadian Paraplegic Association ( http://www.canparaplegic.org/national/index.tpl ). They offer scholarships to students. If there is anything like the CPA where you are, look into them. Also you may want to work fast. A lot of sholarships deadlines are already up.

For the most part, there are not a lot of options. Voc rehab is your best bet, and even then, they take your parents income into account on deciding funding if you are still a dependent.

Try Fastweb.com to apply for grants. We haven't heard a peep yet but we are still hoping. I have a similar thread titled Education: etc. etc. you can check out the advice given thus far as well Donz.
