Student Benefit
Student benefits are transfer payments that are given to students for purposes of full-time study, and require progress in studies, or obtaining academic credits. Student benefits are found in countries where education is free of charge, e.g. Finland and Sweden. Student benefit is paid by the state to all qualifying students, excluding only those with full-time employment and income, and is thus distinct from an individually evaluated scholarship.
Different forms of student benefit are:
- Direct funding for daily living expenses.
- Support for renting an apartment.
- Partially state-funded meals at student cafeterias.
- Securing student loans.
Famous quotes containing the words student and/or benefit:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Henceforth may the neglected lover constantly read me, and may my troubles, once they are known, be of some benefit to him.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
