There is a relatively common misconception that at UD in order to get merit money you have to be accepted into the Honors Program. While certainly students who are accepted into the Honors Program get merit money this is due to the stats they had which got them accepted into it to begin with. However, you do not have to have had applied to or been accepted into the Honors Program to get merit money which, again, can be substantial, depending on a students Stats. While I am not aware of any students who got full tuition scholarships and were not in the Honors Program I do know of a few OOS students who were not in the Honors Program who received merit aid in the range of 15-20K. I also know of numerous other OOS individuals not in the Honors Program who received merit aid in the range of 5-10K. Obviously there are no guarantees but again, with the stats you presented for your D, I would be very surprised if she did not get some significant merit aid.
