President Powers: protect your students from rate increases!

Encourage University of Texas at Austin's President to get our school rallied against student loan interest rate increases!

Why is this important?

As a young widow, and single mother trying to complete my degree in order to support my child without my husband, the increases in student loan interest rates will have a huge affect on my future. I am trying to make a decent life for my family, and already have a lot of student debt to pay off. The pending rate increases will keep me, and many others, struggling even after finally getting an education that will lead to a viable career.
