I think this should be your guiding force more than anything else. Only you know your daughter, and from the sounds of it she would not abuse your trust.
Have a conversation sometime with her not just about curfew, but about school and her goals and just be there to support her. Ask her how she plans to budget time and money to meet her goals.
The one thing my mom never did for me that I wish she would have was actually take the time to listen, without judgement and without writing me off. My dad however did, and as a result he and I are much closer and I will often go to him and bounce things off him. He never tells me what to do or not do, but often asks the questions that show he is paying attention and wants me to think things through as much as possible.
