I donated cash in 2025 to college which my daughter went to school. Can I claim this cash donation as Donations to Charity?

Or will it be eligible as other item to reduce my tax?

You should have an acknowledgment from the school that it was a charitable donation in which case it is an itemized deduction if you itemize. . I assume it was not to pay tuition. If so, you could look into education credit.
