Good ideas to consider. I checked with Budget's website a couple of days ago. It may not be on the website about <21 drivers, but their posted rental rules have a +25 age requirement. Other companies have a +21 provision, but at a daily premium. However, it's worth a call to clarify. If that option is viable, the normal est. cost is $1800-$2000 for a late model car.

What is the monetary value of the education that she will receive?
If you had to pay for the education would it be more, less or equal to buying a $5-600 beater and walking on it at the end?
How would the cost of taking extra credits over the summer compare?

She normally wouldn't be in school this summer; instead she'd be looking for a job somewhere locally. However, this job in VA will be for a small salary and will be valuable experience, something to add to her resume. We'd like to make this happen while also planning for our son who's leaving for college this fall.
Next spring, she's headed to Spain for study in lieu of being on-campus. I hope she doesn't need a car there too.
