The USSU is working alongside the UCRU Undergraduates of Canadian Research Intensive Universities and eight student unions across the nation to bring you the #DebtFreeDegree campaign. This is a movement aimed at increasing the accessibility and affordability of post-secondary education in Canada.
We are advocating to the Government of Canada to accomplish two main goals:
· Doubling government investments in Canada Student Grants
· Establishing a two-year grace period on all federal loans
We encourage you to join the movement by writing a postcard to your MP at debtfreedegree.ca/take-action, or we will send it for you, sharing our posts with your network, and providing us with feedback at info@ucru.ca
