My ability to attend college and afford the cost is only possible because of financial aid. I am a first-generation, low-income student who would not be where I am today without the support that is currently being jeopardized. Please don't take away mine and many others only chance at higher education.
Ayva supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationI have 3 years left of college, and my little sister and so many others haven't even had a chance to enjoy the college experience. Without student aid, so many more people will go without higher education.
Kisha supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationEducation is a human right. Higher education should not be a privilege to receive, let alone more of a privilege than it already is.
Z supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationI had been granted a fellowship for undergrad and had taken out loans for my master's program. Even with full tuition coverage, my loans for formation, books, and other educational fees were part of my debt. Cutting funds and services for students of color to attend college is not only distasteful but also hypocritical of the DOE and current administration to want everyone to be educated but by their standards. Do not slash funding.
johntay supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationEducation and progress are what make our country great. We are here, as likely the greatest country in the world today, because of our dedication to improvement, to understanding, and to knowledge. We have been the world's center for innovation for decades. Central to remaining at the top of innovation is ensuring the public is given a quality education, and those who wish to learn about the world are able to. To educate is to give life to people and to give strength to our country. To take it away is to sabotage the growth that has brought us as a country to where we are today. I hope this path we are on now is recognized as the mistake it is before it is too late.
Nathan supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationEducation is what allows us to advance in the world. It is what gives us doctors and engineers and innovators of all types, and they can come from anywhere. To deny this opportunity to people is to deny a fair future, not just to students, but to the hundreds and thousands of people they could’ve helped if they had completed their education.
Hazel supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationI am a 36 year old student at UW. Due to many circumstances, mostly economical, it took me 15 years to make it back to school. One of the biggest factor that allowed me to resume my education was the ability to access financial aid. Now I see a brighter future for my and my family. Please help us keep the resources that allow people to strive for a better life and pursue the education that they otherwise wouldn't be able to access. Thank you!
Susi supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationWithout going to university, I would never be able to be in the position I am. Without access to funding, I would never be able to afford it, and would be languishing in poverty.
JACQUELYN supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationI am a low income student, I work full time job, am the sole provider for my two children, and attend school full time. This bill will make it impossible for me to complete my degree. If they really want to 'Make America Great' we should be INVESTING in our students, making education more accessible and affordable. This bill does the opposite. It will strip an entire generation of the American Dream, make college even more unaffordable, and cripple our progress as a nation.
Stephanie supported: Petition to Congress: Protect Student Aid and Access to Higher EducationEvery child deserves access to a high-quality, well-funded public education — no matter their zip code, income, or background. Public schools are the heart of our communities. They nurture future leaders, thinkers, and citizens.
We must invest in teachers, counselors, and safe learning environments — not budget cuts, overcrowded classrooms, and outdated materials. Protecting and improving public education isn’t just a policy decision — it’s a moral one.
I stand with students, educators, and families who rely on our public schools every day. It’s time to fully fund and defend public education.
