Another western Pennsylvanian here.
Being from Pittsburgh, have you considered the Community College of Beaver County?
I can't claim any personal experience with them, or their Professional Pilot program, but their Air Traffic Controller program has a good reputation, and if she chooses to get a 2-year aviation related degree, staying local might offer her the option of living at home while still in school. That would also leave the door open to advance to a 4-year degree in some other field. I understand they also have a program with some of the local high schools that allows students to earn some college credits while still in high school.
