What is your plan to make university education affordable for low-income families?
I will make sure you don't have to take on debt to get an education. My administration will provide non-repayable scholarships, grants, and bursaries instead of forcing students into loans, forgive existing student loan obligations, and directly reduce university tuition costs for low-income families like yours. Education should open doors, not mortgage your future.
