nobody,
I don’t think you can use maaser money for school, even for a girl’s education. Artscroll has a book called “Laws of Tzedakkah and Maaser” and it discusses it. IIRC, R’ Moshe said that since school is now an obligation you can’t deduct tuition from maaser.
(This is assuming you even hold maaser is applicable today. If it is, then you have to be 100% certain that your maaser funds are going to a maaser approved course.)
