No, even if tuition and books are free, financial aid still needs to help full time students have food to eat and have a place to live and ordinary day to day expenses. In many places, the aid on room and board is much more money than aid on tuition and fees.
And community colleges tend not to have their own dorms or anything like that, so it comes in the form of a monthly payment that helps the student pay their rent. That's an incentive for fraud.
How are so many ID's faked?
I dont get how this system works, dont the Universities require you to pay a student fee beforhand and you send them all your information after that, so you get a Studentcard or sth? How do you register in these colleges, do they just write an E-mail?
