Funding for educational programs halted
In one of my jobs, I work for TRIO Upward Bound and Math/Science Upward Bound. TRIO is a federal program that started in 1965 to help first generation and low income students get into and stay in college. It has a long success record and, as recently as last year, has received bipartisan support in Congress.
Starting today, funding to TRIO had been frozen by the current administration. I humbly ask you to contact your members of Congress to advocate for TRIO and other threatened educational programs.
Here is a template to use.
Thank you.
