2. College Students should
receive public assistance just
as other individuals with low
income.

3. Many students in college have this same problem of not
being able to receive food stamps. This topic is worth
discussing because it is a huge issue and many people are
having this problem

5. My mom and my
sister went through
this when they
were in college and
now I am going
through the same
thing

6. I am going into my fourth year of college and I’ve
been living off of student loans and haven’t been
getting any public assistance.

8. By challenging our government's view of
public assistance for students, we can
ensure a better future for all of us

9. To be eligible for public
assistance or food stamps, a
student must work a minimum
of 20 hours per week.

10. With all the hours a student must dedicate to class and
study time, being a student becomes a full time job!

11. Students not only have to save money to cover basic living
expenses, they also have to consider saving for loan
repayment. Some students also have the obligation of
paying interest on their loans while they are still in school.

Call to Action: Put together a petition to take to the public aid office
12. Students already have plenty of expenses. A non traditional
student that doesn’t go to a school where they can live on
campus must cover bills, on top of school financial
obligations like books and tuition.

13. Nutrition plays a part in a students ability to concentrate
on function properly. Having to worry about where the
next meal may come from should not be one more added
stressor to a student’s life.

14. Students are part of a demographic of people that are
trying to take steps towards bettering their lives and
making contributions to society. Dependency for students
of public assistance programs is assumed to not be
indefinite.

15. Let’s take a different look
at what the definition of
public assistance is! Who
should it be for? Perhaps a
specialized program
should be developed for
students in need.

16. There are programs for low income families, students with
dependents, and veterans. Programs like WIC allow certain
foods up to a certain amount be purchased every month.
SImilar guidlines could be applied to a student assistance
program.

17. This country was built on the notion that hard work and
education can get you to the next level. Without the
collaboration of other students with similar views in similar
need, how can we expect and further attention or action to
take place?

19. There are a lot of college students
that are struggling. College offers them
the opportunity to work towards a
career, and essentially a better life.

20. There is so much money being put into things
that have little importance. Why cant college
students get the help that they deserve?
