Hey, I recently purchased a macbook on July 29th 07 and I recently put a scratch on the LCD screen. I dropped scissors while holding my macbook, it wasn't pretty. I was wondering if it is possible to fix, how much would it cost, and I don't have applecare but is there anyway they'd fix it for free, it says warranty effective through July 08.

The warranty only covers manufacturing defects. So unfortunately for you, it doesn't look like Apple will replace your screen for free since the damage is caused by the user.

Take it to the Apple Store, tell them the truth about what happened, and pray the person is really nice and gets it repaired under warranty. Otherwise you're gonna have to shell out for a new screen, which can be quite expensive.
