So the federal gov is currently withholding grant funding at the national level for the TRIO SSS grant. This grant serves undersupported students and helps them graduate with their Bachelor's degree. 1/
The current grant cycle expires in LESS THAN 30 DAYS and the @usedgov STILL has not released next yr's grant app results or funds. We have no idea if we'll be able to serve students or get paid as of next month! This is the worst possible time to abandon these students. 2/
Today it was suggested that we contact our local members of Congress to pressure the DOE - because apparently we have to beg for money that we have already applied for and that is critical to the success of our students. 3/
Anyway... KS legislators @SenPatRoberts, @JerryMoran, @RogerMarshallMD, @Rep_Watkins, @RepDavids, and @RonEstesKS: please let the DOE know that this is not the time to withhold funding on a historically bipartisan grant. 4/
TRIO SSS alumni incl. @violadavis, @HectorBalderas, @FranklinChangD, @Astro_Jose, @RepGwenMoore, @DrHLWilliams, @TheNTAA, and many more. If you feel that this program is valuable, please consider contacting your local representative. 5/5
