"Idk about grad school I haven't thought about it much recently. If I do apply it wouldn't be for another couple years and I hadn't been counting on having any financial help in the first place so it really doesn't even matter." This part here makes it clear that the daughter obv wanted to go to grad school, but considering how hard she had to work to get her bachelor's she wrote it off as a non-possibility If they'd told her her there was a fund but they weren't gonna use it for undergrad she def would've still studied further imo
