Can Grandma pay off student loan?

My mum wants to pay off a large chunk of my daughter's student loan (£10k). She doesn't understand its not necessarily the best way to help granddaughter financially - but hey ho thats parents for you 
My question is can she make this contribution to my daughter or will it be taxed as unearned income? Is there some way around this - I object to contributing further to the HMRC
Thanks

firstly - thank you for replying to the thread.:)
secondly - thought I had deleted it from the other thread but I can see now I hadn't managed to.
Obviously I'm not so forum savvy as i thought
Thanks again0
