We all know the price of everything has been going up over the last year. But post-secondary students say we have more to learn about how big their struggle is. Students from across the maritimes are launching something they're calling "More than Tuition". Lydia Houck is the Executive Director of Students Nova Scotia. She says when the maximum amount you can get to cover rent is $500 a month, that means something somewhere else will have to be cut. She says the student assistance program needs to be modernized since many of the full time students are also working full time jobs. This is an important conversation for parents of university aged kids and for politicians and policy makers.
