The website of the national student grant system is using a popular internet meme on its home page. 

The meme is known as Sheltered College Freshman, and according to Know Your Meme features "a stock photo of a young woman posing with a blue notepad in what appears to be a library. The images are captioned with ignorant statements often related to naive understandings of sexual innuendo and slang related to illegal drugs."

Here are images of both to compare:

It's not known whether wearei3, the site's developers, or SUSI are aware they are using the same image. 

This isn't the first time Sheltered College Freshman has appeared in unlikely places; she's also been discovered in notebooks, magazines and advertisements.
