Default Loan the money Question

I have a step daughter, who has given me gray hairs for 10 years that I have known her. She has improved, in that she is trying to better herself going to medical school. Her teen years, she was into the drug crowd. And still smokes weed from time to time. She has come upon a time where she needs money. She is very poor at saving any for the problem times we all have. She has her pay check spent before she gets it. And she is very good at lying
I am trying to take a stand of not helping her out with up comming bills that could effect her from getting into the nursing program,.Becauce of her past drug problems, the only way she will get in, would be by grades, and she has good grades. She owes the school some money, and she needs this paid to to be put on a list to qualify.
My thoughts are Let the bills come in and if she can pay them great if she can't maybe it's not meant to be. I have a small problem helping someone get into medical school who is using pot, the last time I looked, it was against the law.
I know if I don't help she going to be totally pissed off at me her mom and my wife died 5 months back. And so I'm the closest to family she has. She was not that close to her mom.
I think she see's me as a money man. But I want to move on with my life and she seems to be following in her moms foot prints as far as money issues are concerned. What might you do?
