Our vision at SBNC is for basic needs to be understood as human rights and for all students to have their needs met through equitable systemic means. We believe student success is dependent on reliable and continued access to basic needs.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of bright young Americans do not get a higher education each year, not because they are unqualified, but because their family does not have enough money." Bernie Sanders #sbnc #freecollege
"While President Biden can and should immediately cancel student debt for millions of borrowers, Congress must ensure that working families never have to take out these crushing loans to receive a higher education in the first place." Pramila Jayapal #sbnc #freecollege
Having access to major-related, on-campus employment can help to minimize the harm of working as a student and maximize the benefits. #studentbasicneeds #basicneeds #student #basic #students #studentlife #collegestudent #studentproblems #sbnc
Working students are more likely to have a slow rate of credit-hour accumulation, be a part-time students, and are less likely to complete their degree in 6 years. #studentbasicneeds #basicneeds #student #basic #students #studentlife #collegestudent #studentproblems #sbnc
In 2017, 43% of full-time undergraduate students are working more than 20 hours a week. Working for pay is more common at under-resourced institutions. 50% of full-time students at two-year institutions worked, 72% of them worked more than 20 hours per week. #sbnc
College should be affordable for all. Politicians across the country, from both side of the aisle, are fighting to make college affordable. In 2019, Mitch Carmichael, of West Virigina, gained unanimous support to make college tuition free. #studentbasicneeds #basicneeds #sbnc
Promise programs are place-based scholarship programs to make college tuition free. These programs give additional support alongside FAFSA and Pell Grants. #studentbasicneeds #basicneeds #student #basic #students #studentlife #collegestudent #studentproblems #sbnc

The cost of attending college can be a heavy burden for many Americans. #financialaid #studentbasicneeds #basicneeds #student #basic #students #studentlife #collegestudent #studentproblems #sbnc

Fun Fact: Did you know that the more student debt is cancelled, the greater the racial wealth gap will be reduced? #CancelStudentLoans
Even before COVID-19, an estimated 100K Maryland students were fighting food + housing insecurity But this week, @DelMaggie43 + @marksoochang can take the next step in ending this crisis by bringing HB 891 - Hunger Free Campus Act up for a vote in the appropriations committee 🗳️

The pandemic has exposed students’ struggles with basic needs like food, housing, and wellness. #SouthStrong signers like the Student Basic Needs Coalition (@SBNC_USA) are working to ensure equitable resources and treatment for students across the South. youtu.be/6-aQiGqdIYA
Hungry students can't learn if they are distracted by hunger in the classroom.
According to a Hope Center Study, 39% of students surveyed were food-insecure over the previous 30 days.
