I think that you should refer her to different low cost or free websites that are designed to help students in the college application process such as U.S. News & World Report. She can also investigate individual college websites for information.

This high school student is only a sophomore now which means that she is only 15 or 16. It must be overwhelming and upsetting thinking of her little girl going away to college especially if the college is far away. In a year and a half, the mother might feel differently.

I think that you can approach this from a perspective of "I went to XYZ College and this is what the experience has meant to me." It might enlighten her to the educational opportunities out there for her daughter.
