That is welfare and "handout" all day long, every day.

So for that matter and based on your definition, medical insurance is welfare if you do not need medical assistance. Car insurance is welfare if you do not get into any accidents. etc etc..
As long as we are at it, we should probably get rid of fire departments, highways, roads, streets, street lights, police departments, the CDC, the health department, the military etc... etc.. if you do not feel you need their assistance either..
I paid for my kids to go to private school... why do I have to pay for YOU or YOUR kids to go to school? If you or your kids went to public school it sounds to me like I am paying your bills and you are on welfare.
If I did pay for your education, it is actually a good thing for the country.. The country is far better off with educated people than a bunch of illiterate hicks.. (so I suppose that type of welfare that I am funding does actually help me in the long run if it is helping the country).
