Soror, based on the fact that you said that this women is asking if UPenn is a good school, which should be clear if one is knowledgeable about colleges and universities and the varied calibers of such, and that she came from another country, I would say that she probably really needs your help in helping her to become less ignorant of the various opportunities for her daughter. Please don't give up on her. Everyone doesn't have the benefit of having information that we often think should be known.
Perhaps you can also let her daughter know (if it's ok with the mother) of various schools. She can surf the web to find out further information - she can get on the web at the library for free if she doesn't have a home computer or one at school.

Now we work and live about 40 minutes away from Philadelphia and I mentioned to her that UPenn has opportunities (internships and scholarships)....she said that she would have to think very long and hard about letting her daughter go "that far". She followed up by asking "what kind of school is UPenn and is that a good school".
At that statement, I told her I had to get back to work and to let me know if she needed help to look up scholarship opportunities.
