Arkansas Honor Your Commitments to Graduates

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

I urge Governor Beebe to do the right thing and honor the commitments the state has made for students in the 2013-2014 school year.

Why is this important?

Due to cuts in higher education, many students, including my daughter, may be notified on July 1 that their 2013-2014 scholarships/grants are not going to be honored by the state of Arkansas. By now many students have committed to colleges and graduate schools based upon those awards and will have to seek alternative funding. Unfortunately, on that very same day, July 1, student loan interest rates will increase from 3.5% to 6.8%.
