What is your budget? How many knives are you trying to get?
As a rule, I'd say 8" Chef's 9" or 10" Bread, 4" Paring knife and a Honing Steel is your minimum. Victorinox makes solid, budget friendly knives. I would probably piecemeal it, but this set has everything you need for $122. Pick up a knife block or Drawer organizer and you're in business.

If you can spend a little more. Look for your Chef's knife, breadknife paring knife and honing steel on "chef's knives to go" with the keyword "Tojiro DP" Solid budget friendly forged japanese steel knives. I helped a friend price out a set at around $250. From there you can go crazy depending on how much you want to spend.
I believe in culinary school, they often kit her out with a Mercer set (which is a set of mediocre knives) which is ideal for school because other students might borrow your knife and end up damaging it.
If you do want to gift her a set though, start simple like a Wusthof Pro set or a Victorinox Fibrox. Decent general knives, very tough, won't break bank and won't break your heart.
Maybe something like whisks, cooking utensils, thermometer (like infrared), headwear (bandanas, caps) and a great book like On Food and Cooking in a lockable toolbox/toolbags (for her to take to school) where she can use everything. It shouldn't cost more than $200. don't include cookware like pots and pans, they tend to break bank.
A really nice set of non-slip leather boots/shoes is another idea.
In this scenario, I would say it's the thought that counts more than the $$$ since she's only starting out. When she graduates and is a chef, then maybe consider like fancy knives or spices.
