And you're taking it out of context when you don't use the full definition:
hand·out
'hand?out/
noun
1.
something given free to a needy person or organization.
"hundreds of thousands of refugees subsist on international handouts"
synonyms: charity, aid, benefit, financial support, donations, subsidies, welfare; historicalalms
"she existed on handouts"
2.
printed information provided free of charge, especially to accompany a lecture or advertise something.
"she was shocked when she saw a one-page handout condemning her campaign"
synonyms: leaflet, pamphlet, brochure, fact sheet; More
Student loans that are paid back are not by definition a "handout". "Free" is the kicker here.
