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.

Exactly. With student grants, the government is investing in human capital in order to get increased productivity from the person, and potentially collect higher taxes when they earn more in the future. How does trying to be the youngest to sail around the world better humanity? Last I heard, people were able to travel across the world in a much more efficient way. If she wanted to be the youngest to be teleported around the world, that would be a different story.
This whole thing the girl did was nothing more than a rich person's d*ck measuring contest (except um, with girls, so whatever they measure with instead
)
