Support Uni Students: Student Loan increases and a freeze on accommodation fees

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Many students have lost there jobs due to the conrona virus and yet are still expected to pay bills and rent, therefore I’m proposing an increase in student loan, as we are excluded from applying for the current financial aid. As well as freeze on both private and university owned accommodation.
The majority of uni halls which are still opening are insisting payments for those remaining on campus; however the majority of us didn’t have a choice but to stay. Likewise those living in private accounts are still required to Pay rent for the foreseeable future whether they are living there or at home. Therefore I’m petitioning for a freeze in these rents. Furthermore I’m imploring the government to increase the student loan amount, as we are unable to apply for any extra funding at present.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
