Allow me to add. I have loaned people money in the past who never paid it back, but I also have a few friends who I will loan money because they always pay it back. But those people and I have strong trust relationships, ones that are very hard to build, and require the right circumstances to exist. These relationships truly are rare and I am lucky to have even one. So, in support of grardb's point, if you don't already have a trust relationship with this person, your offerings to pay for them and also help them learn will most likely end in failure and a loss of cash from you (OP).
