Call to End Interest on Student Loans

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Immediate implementation of a 0% interest rate on all student loans, regardless of plan type.
Permanent adoption of interest-free student finance, ensuring that no borrower repays more than they borrowed in real terms. Education should empower, not burden. By removing interest from student loans, we can restore fairness, reduce long-term debt anxiety, and reaffirm our commitment to accessible higher education for all.
