    I was around when they introduced it. They basically killed some programs because it went from a few students to none. Because why would you pay for a Swedish uni noone heard of instead of a bit more for a famous uni. It was a stupid policy.

      To be fair, I see the argument. It is tax-paid, so you want to reserve it for people who are likely to pay future taxes.
