Allow for college to be affordable in order to avoid students from dropping out.

This petition is intended to allow for students to continue college without dropping out due to economic problems. Study shows that nearly half of America’s college students drop out before receiving a degree. Harvard University found that only 56 percent of the students who enter America’s colleges and universities graduate within 6 years.
Dropouts that participated in another study gave solutions on what could be done to fix this issue, they thought the most favorable solutions were allowing part-time students to qualify for more financial assistance; offering more weekend and evening courses; cutting the cost of tuition, fees, and textbooks; and providing childcare during classes.
