@perfor How do they authenticate this? Not imagining they have OAuth over at the Pell grant website.

@weex@c4.social Unsure of the exact requirements but when applying you have to upload several ID proof to get verified.

@perfor That makes sense. I don't assume anything but often the verification steps bring in third parties which leak data. As I consider writing more on this, I think maybe I should contact Pell grant office to check it out. :)
