Educate. Advocate. Raise Awareness.

 

Students on Debt Row is a group created by college students and recent graduates that aims to shed light on the lingering student debt crisis. We believe that students deserve an affordable education as much as America deserves a well-educated workforce.

Today’s national student loan debt is well over $1 trillion. In 2012 seven in ten college seniors graduated with loans and the average student walked the stage $29,400 deep in debt. With colleges hastily raising tuition fees while families’ incomes shrink, student loan debt is quickly rising. Between 2008 and 2012 student debt rose at a rate of 6 percent each year. We believe this is a recipe for economic disaster. Students should no longer be forced to hold the enormous financial burden that comes with a quality education—an education that not only benefits their own lives, but society as a whole.
