This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
If you on a full or part-time NHS-funded course which will lead to you registering as a doctor or dentist the NHS will already pay your tuition fees.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund tuition fees for other medical courses, but it would need to be clear what courses you wanted the Government to fund free tuition fees for.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
