If she’s leaning towards engineering - I would steer her towards Auburn or Alabama. My son basically had free tuition plus another $2000 annually at Georgia but their engineering disciplines (other than biological and chemical ) were not yet accredited and on an Honors invitation only visit for kids from our school they just mentioned (oh, btw) that they were going to start up mechanical and other basic engineering disciplines but emphasized the good food at UGA more than anything .

Alabama by far will give you the most for your money (actually their money) you should visit, lovely campus and they are committed to growing their engineering.

Auburn does not offer near the merit money for out of state but has a terrific (well regarded) engineering school and lovely campus - you need to visit… This is where my son now calls home.

UA and AU both have their merit scholarships listed online - they are automatic based on GPA and test scores (you may have to fill out paperwork to get them but they are basically auto)
