Bring Back Free Fruit! #FruitForFocus

The student maintenance loan support is at the lowest it has ever been, and students are increasingly having to choose between going hungry or overworking themselves to afford their basic needs. With 44% of all students experiencing food insecurity as of 2023. 

This has the negative associations with lower grades, lower attendance rates, and higher levels of stress. Correct nutrition, consisting of a holistic diet of fruits and vegetables, is therefore detrimental for the university student. 

In the academic year of 2022/23 NTU offered free fruit for all students across all campuses, this initiative should be brought back to uphold NTU's commitments to learning and wellbeing support. In alignment with HealthyNTU and Student Financial Support initiatives. 

Bring back free fruit, bring back student success!
