Q: Using 3G iPhone Hotspot for WIFI iPad?

My daughter has an iPhone 4s on a 4 gig Verizon data plan. She's looking at buying a wifi only iPad soon. Can she use the iPhone Personal Hotspot function to provide 3g connectivity to the iPad from her existing data plan when wifi isn't available for the iPad? I do know there might be a Verizon charge to set up the Hotspot.

Thank you.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
