An invitation to support financial aid for students

Finally, I would like to pass on the following invitation for advocacy for students and families in Minnesota. If you believe that state and federal financial aid should continue to help keep Minnesota colleges affordable for low- and middle-income families, Advocates for Minnesota Student Aid (AMSA) is worth a look. It's a grassroots organization made up of Minnesotans who want to protect those programs and the college students they support at private AND public institutions. AMSA is organized by the Minnesota Private College Council, which represents 17 nonprofit colleges and universities. In the next two weeks or so, you will receive an invitation to become part of this effort to protect state and federal financial aid. We hope that you will join with parents across Minnesota to support this important endeavor.
