If you are going to engage with a refurbished or second-hand camera market, I think it is a good idea to get to know some of the differences between the different levels of models. In the following paragraphs the # symbol represents a model number e.g.T7, T7i, 60D 5D.
Canon Rebel are the consumer level.
A T# is the most basic, has the least features and is the least robust, but is a good starter system. They will have the least capable sensors, lack tilting LCD displays at the back and are generally of the cheapest build. They are still capable of taking great photos, but are the most limited of the EOS DSLR range.
The T#i models are a step up from those. They have better sensors, processors, viewfinders and LCD displays and are somewhat more robust. They will (almost certainly) have tilting swivelling screens to allow selfies or vlogging, and to shoot very high or very low. They are slightly more robust.
XXD bodies are higher-end enthusiast cameras. Significantly more robust, with extra screens, higher quality components better focusing systems, and bigger batteries than the Rebel series.
XD Mk? bodies are professional and prosumer units, designed to take serious punishment and use over many years. They are built like tanks and have the best quality components. These units have numbers that also have Mk? values (e.g. 5DMkIV): so while the model denotes a type of camera, the higher the Mk value, the newer the version.
Canon EOS R series cameras are not DSLRs they are called MILCs (Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Cameras), because they lack an optical viewfinder and instead use a tiny electronic viewfinder. They are the latest technology and are likely to be outside your $1,000 price range.
A couple of general notes:
Avoid anything that does not have some kind of built-in viewfinder. This is not a problem with DSLRs - but there are some mirrorless cameras out there that don't have them. The correct way to hold a camera demands the presence of a viewfinder one can put up to the face to get a 3rd point of contact along with the two hands and arms - this provides stability far in excess of the way that people used to cell phones hold their cameras, looking through the back LCD display.
As to lenses: If you have the opportunity, try to get the Canon EF-S 18-135 STM lens. It is an excellent kit lens for Rebel and XXD cameras, with a much wider range than the 18-55mm units. If you DO get an 18-55 lens, make sure it has the letters STM on the front of the lens. These lenses do not use gears, as older ones do, and are silent, fast-focusing and not prone to having the issues with a gearing mechanism because they have direct-drive motors.
I would strongly encourage you to consult with your daughter, and her with her teacher as to what kinds of gear to use. I will enclose the following article I wrote on how to choose camera gear At this link.
