Even NHL teams get support from tax payers when they get new buildings (seems cgy and edm might be excluded from that right now though)
Except that the government usually gets the ability to recover those funds through increased tax dollar generation, both in business or personal taxes.

So everyone even those who get "profitable" degrees get grants and never pay any of them back.
But your degree gives you increased pay which gives us increased tax dollars. Over your lifetime that Grant money is more then recovered. Plus you either joining an organization or starting your own venture generates more tax dollars.
