In Sweden any financial aid to students are revoked if you dont get a grade. If you apply a second time, after failing classes you simply dont get aid until your grades improve. Aid is only paid out a month at a time.
Also, you have to apply using digital-ID (BankID) for both classes and aid, theres no way to cheat. This way, fraud is unheard of.
Educational aid, if paid out erroneously is collected more aggressively than taxes.

- skinnymuch 4y agoIn America, the vast majority of financial aid to students is revoked if they fail their classes. Not sure how often aid is given out, but 1 month vs 4 isn’t a big difference. I haven’t heard much of any America specific big time fraud in this area either. If any implication was this article. That doesn’t count since the article isn’t saying aid is happening unlike Sweden.
