SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Federal officials have busted a major student aid fraud ring in California. Santa Barbara City College was one of the 15 schools that were stolen from.

21 Californians were arrested with stealing federal financial aid money. The thieves would either sign up in their own name or recruit people who had no intention of ever going to college to collect the student aid money.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says more indictments are expected in the near future.
