In Israel?
Send her a birthday cake at seminary, to share with her friends.
And a sum of money. Tell her to use it to buy something meaningful for herself before she comes home. A kiddush cup, challah cover, whatever. Something she can use in her own home someday, and remember her time in seminary.

If you can afford it, send her money to go out for ice cream with her friends (treating them if you have no budget limit) + a gift (like a siddur etc)

Can you reach out to her roommates?
Can you send them $ and have them make her a party- take her out on your behalf (and say it is from you) for ice cream/pick up or order a cake/go out to dinner/go somewhere fun?
Have them decorate her room or get balloons?
My 18yo would love to take on such a project-I am sure her roommates would be excited to also.
Regarding the gift, decide based on what your budget affords- how much do you usually spend on birthdays?
