Don't know your family's inclination towards the military, but I'd get her into a local air guard unit doing something she 'might' enjoy one weekend per month, take the in-state school bennies and then make sure she either does the aviation program at an in-state school or the part 61 route. Once she graduates college, apply for pilot training through her guard unit or any other guard/reserve flying squadron. Free(ish) school, free flight training and a no brainer for many of the legacies.

Having said all that, I think I'd buy my kid a plane....
