Help us understand better. Has she filed the N400? As far as I know filing is not free. She is less that 75years old so will be paying both for filing AND biometrics.

All the information you need here: http://www.uscis.gov/n-400

The standard fee for an application for naturalization is $680 ($595 + a $85 biometrics processing fee). Applicants age 75+ are not charged the biometrics fee, but that doesn't apply to you, so under normal circumstances, the fee for your mother is $680.

If you would like to apply for a fee waiver, I suggest you start by reading the instructions for form I-912: http://www.uscis.gov/i-912 -- to see if you qualify. You can also read http://www.uscis.gov/feewaiver regarding the USCIS general process on waiving fees.

You should also read the instructions to form N-400 (see http://www.uscis.gov/n-400) carefully to see if she is indeed eligible to take the citizenship test in Spanish. Just because she's 65 doesn't mean she can.
