Increase financial support for students

Closed 45 signatures

What the petition asks

Data shows student rents can swallow up to 95% of the current monthly instalment, resulting in negative effects on students' mental health and academic attainment. This also disproportionately impacts students from lower income backgrounds and is a limit on their ability to access higher education.
