[QUOTE="BristolGrad1567, post: 138761, member: 23934"] My friend has written the petition below for increased student finance for the next academic year. She needs five signatures for the petition to go live. I would really appreciate it if people would sign as a 2.8% increase in finance next year puts a lot of people, including me, in a scary position. Increase the Maintenance Loan and Master's Loan by 10.1% for 2023/24 From April 2023, both benefits and the state pension will increase by 10.1% - in line with inflation. In contrast, SFE has only increased the maintenance loan provision and the postgraduate loan by 2.8%. This is estimated by Save the Student to leave students £1500 worse off a year. With housing, food and bills all costing the average student significantly more, one in four students has taken on new debt to fix the widening chasm between their income and expenses. Whilst the government has dedicated additional funds to hardship funding, universities are overwhelmed with demand for support (see [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/oct/20/universities-double-or-triple-student-hardship-funds-in-face-of-soaring-need[/URL]). Survival should not be the sole focus at university.
