I graduated in 2008.  I worked a full time job and went to school full time.  I chose a good college that was affordable.  I graduated with my MBA without any debt.  My parents paid my car insurance and would fill me up with groceries when I went home to visit but that was it.  In my opinion, if she wants it she will make it happen.  If she doesn't want it, it's not going to happen no matter what you do for her.  

Check state schools to see if academic tuition waivers are available.  My daughter attended two years of community college on a total tuition waiver and lived at home.  Her part time job paid for fees, books and transportation.  Her jr and sr years were at a state school with a partial academic tuition waiver.  We helped her with housing, books and fees.  She worked a lot of weekends and all vacations.  

Academic waivers were dependent on continuing GPA.

My parents made too much money for me to qualify for grants etc, but they definitely didn't have the money to pay my way.  I joined the guards to pay my way through college.  It was the only way I could do it.  It was a great experience and I don't regret it.  It's not for everyone but it is another way to pay for schooling.  

I taught Early Graduation for several years. The counselor is supposed to help the seniors with college issues but I found a lot of kids slip through the cracks and don't get the help they need. Especially if they had already slipped through the cracks and ended up in there with me. I asked the counselor for help on occasion. This is one thing she told me.  Get on the internet and fill out the FASFA application. If you can't find it I can look for it. That is the financial help site. This is what I told the students. Go to a community college as long as you can. Way cheaper and you can probably live at home. Two places you need to know the location of are the FINANCIAL AID OFFICE and the PLACEMENT OFFICE.  Often there are scholarships that are not used each year because no one asks about them. They can also direct you to low interest loans. The placement office can help find you a job on campus perhaps making copies for professors. The placement office can also help you get a job years after you graduate.  It's a good resource. You can rent books off the internet to keep from having to buy them. 

one last tip. If you live in Texas, Sul Ross University is the cheapest University in Texas. A coach who shared my room told me that. He told me he could not understand why the counselor didn't push it more. It is located in Alpine TX which far removed from any other civilization!  

If you or your spouse are 100% dis. Veterans her tuition will be covered at a 100% cost. There is also the option of ROTC. 4 years of enlistment for her complete college tuition isn't bad and when she gets out she will be eligible for not only high paying government jobs but also multiple grants and scholarships for female veterans. 

 Though my daughter is many years off from attending college I'm so grateful that her tuition will be completely covered to any school she enrolls in. 

you could always ditch the college route and pursue a trade. 

That way you could actually make some money 

for real  look what welders make

Our local vo-tech college offers a heavy equiment certification course. It costs $300 (cost is subsidized by various businesses that need heavy equipment drivers!). Students have a HIGH paying job waiting for them when they complete the course which is weeks long instead of years. If I was a young person right now I'd sign up!  Great paying career with mobility opportunity.
