Scrap tuition fees/loan repayments for student nurses on the covid front line.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Remove tuition fees and repay student loans for student nurses assisting with the Covid-19 crisis.
Student nurses will be paying 9k themselves in tuition fees to be part of the covid workforce.

There is a cohort of student nurses who did not get any funding or help to complete the nursing degree.
They are now going to be on the front line in the covid crisis.
I appeal to the government to write off the tuition fees and student loan.
In essence THEY are paying 9k (1 year of fees) to be able to be on the front line in this pandemic.
