College Students Need To Eat Too!!

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

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

It is not easy balancing the expenses of school and life

My mom and my sister went through

this when they were in college and

now I am going through the same

thing

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.

Supporting Point One: challenge government

Challenge Government

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

To be eligible for public assistance or food stamps, a

student must work a minimum of 20 hours per week.

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

Call to Action: Put together a petition to take to the public aid office

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

It’s time to balance out the system.

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.

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