We’re Fighting For Students in this cost-of-living crisis, calling for: an increase in grants and bursaries; rent controls; and half-price bus and train fares all day.
2007 signed so far. Help us get to 3000!
We are your national union representing university and college students across Scotland.
Together we achieve national change for students.
NUS Scotland’s Cost of Survival survey found that 21% of students have missed class and a further 7% have missed placement because of the cost of public transport, and a NUS UK’s Move It survey found that the cost of travel has impacted 32% of students’ ability to eat a meal.
As always, it’s the students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are being hit the hardest, missing out on vital teaching time, harming their grades and limiting their opportunities.
Email your MSPs to ask them to support our campaign for half price bus and rail fares for all students and apprentices so no student has to choose between eating and attending class ever again.
