Description

Got Pell Grants, student loans, even Medicaid? If you're a student or borrower, this concerns YOU.

Last month, the House passed a bill that slashes $380 billion in higher education programs, primarily to fund tax cuts for billionaires. The budget reconciliation bill proposed the most dangerous threats to financial aid in history, including significant slashes to Pell, elimination of subsidized loans for undergraduates, and increases to the cost of income-driven repayment plans. Vital food and health care programs, like SNAP and Medicaid, are also on the line for college students.

While the Senate version of the bill’s higher education provisions preserves access to Pell and subsidized loans, the reconciliation process is still underway — and Congress is still weighing massive cuts to financial aid.

Make your voice heard before the bill becomes law. Many students, graduates, higher education leaders, educators, organizations, and advocates have joined the #GotPell fight. The Senate needs to know that cutting student financial aid to support tax cuts for billionaires is not how you want your tax dollars spent. Share this letter campus- and community-wide. Together, we can flood their inboxes.

Past Pell recipients can also join the fight. Use the hashtags #GotPell or #IGotPell to share your stories about how the Pell Grant changed your life.

This toolkit is designed for you to share with your network. Treat it as your own. Download and customize its content to fit the needs of your channels, networks, and audiences.

Got Pell Grants, student loans, even Medicaid? If you're a student or borrower, this concerns YOU.

Last month, the House just passed a bill that slashes $380 billion in higher education programs, primarily to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

This proposed budget means:
🚩fewer students will have access to Pell Grants
🚩subsidized student loans will be eliminated
🚩increases in the cost of income-driven repayment plans
🚩SNAP eligibility will be limited
🚩massive cuts to Medicaid and other program eliminations that put low-income students at risk of dropping out of school

The cuts are dangerous, threatening access to education for students and their families while weakening the future U.S. labor force.

We can stop the Senate from passing this bill. Tell your Senator to reject this attack on higher education. Together, we can flood their inboxes.

Advocate to End Hunger in Higher Ed

Description

In less than a minute, you can help by sending a letter to Congress asking them to update SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) policies ahead of the Farm Bill reauthorization. Use the toolkit to tell your followers you took action for today’s students. Share the importance of ending hunger in higher ed by downloading and customizing its content to fit the needs of your channels, networks, and audiences.

Recent studies show 23% of today's students in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity. When students don't have enough to eat, they are faced with the difficult choice between two options: paying for food or college costs. Updates to SNAP rules can help.

Research proves the connection between SNAP participation and persistence in college. But today’s students are currently prohibited from accessing SNAP. Even if students would otherwise qualify for SNAP benefits based on their income, citizenship, and state-level eligibility, those attending class more than half-time are barred from receiving SNAP unless they meet a complicated set of exemptions.

Low-income college students need help meeting their basic needs to complete their degree or credential. Tell your friends, family, and followers about the #LetStudentsEat initiative. It takes all of us working together to end hunger in higher education.

Not seeing what you're looking for? We are a national coalition of higher education and benefits access advocacy organizations. Reach out to us at info@LetStudentsEat.org.

National Student Parent Month 2024 #SupportStudentParents

Description

Parenting students are hard-working and National Student Parent Month is a time to acknowledge the determination and dedication of the nearly 1 in 5 undergraduate students who are also parents.

Working collectively with our partners and member organizations, every year Today’s Students Coalition helps lead a monthlong celebration of parenting students in support of students like Macauley O'Connell whose first enrollment attempt caused him to lose access to federal financial aid; Jennifer Shirk who’s balancing college, motherhood, and a full-time job; and La Quenta Lewis, a mother of three, a wife, and the operations manager at an elementary school in California who’s pursuing higher education at the same time as her daughter.

September’s designation of National Student Parent Month is an opportunity to create a lot of buzz and advocate for the needs of parenting students. This toolkit is designed for you to share with your network. Treat the toolkit as your own.
