One way to get college paid for (as I'm sure you know) is scholarships. I'm guessing she's already got some idea what she wants to do, and if she's serious about being the first female President, she's probably going to go for a poli sci major somewhere in there, maybe as part of a double major. You might check around for political organizations that offer scholarship money specifically for people wanting to go into politics, or even see about setting up a Kickstarter or GoFundMe setup for her, with her putting forth more info on her political leanings. And scout around universities that are well-regarded for poli-sci programs, check with their bookstores to see what texts the intro classes use, and see if you can pick them up used cheap, so she can be ahead of the curve and can start scouting out programs and see if she can get them to offer scholarships. If she's self-driven with her own goals, she's going to be attractive to more programs than some other kid who simply 'wants to go to college'.
