Stop the scrapping of maintenance grants
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
We oppose the government scrapping maintenance grants for poorer students; this will harm social mobility and equality of opportunity.
We are also concerned about the undemocratic nature of the decision, made in a legislation committee and not included in the Conservative manifesto.
