If you care about keeping college affordable for students, you can help.

Current students can:

• Attend Day at the Capitol (during the spring). You'll meet with legislators about the importance of the State Grant program. Hundreds of students come over several days.
• You can also thank legislators for their support. If you have questions about a thank you note, contact Paget Pengelly.
• Join the Minnesota Association of Private college students.

Steps parents and other supporters can take:

• Sign up to join Advocates for Minnesota Student Aid. You will receive brief updates and occasional requests to reach out to legislators.
  
  
  
  
• Write an email thanking policymakers for recently helping college students by increasing State Grant awards. Find out who represents you or visit mnstudentaid.org/alerts and click on the current alert.
