The second Iranian university has offered scholarships to students in the US and Europe who have been expelled for taking part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses.
The obvious choice would be to stay of course. But the offer with the chance of wiping debit in the even they didn't want to stay gives a "safety net" vibe. Puts a nice outline with a goal of taking out two birds with one stone. And if a student doesn't want to stay even with having their original debts, it doesn't prevent them from still getting a degree without owing extra. Some people like to know they have options (even if the options are in most cases dumb)
Investing in the education of someone who immediately goes back to America is a loss.
The whole point is that you take young, economically productive people out of America and instead get to benefit from their labor and skills.
Paying off their loans when you could be doing economic damage to America is counterproductive.
Also a free education, the ability to own a home, and not supporting the country that just beat the shit out of you and your friends for peacefully protesting their support of a genocide is more than enough carrot.
