Perkins Call-In to Congress Days: September 15 & 16

Perkins Call-In to Congress Days: September 15 & 16

In order to show support for extending and providing adequate funds for the Perkins Loan Program, COHEAO has planned Perkins Loan Call-In to Congress Days for Wednesday, September 15 and Thursday, September 16 for the Washington offices of Members of Congress. Please be sure to contact your legislators (House and Senate) and ask them to support the Perkins Loan Program by extending and funding it.

Additional materials are available on at www.coheao.org and please feel free to contact COHEAO with any questions or concerns. When contacting your Representatives, please ask them to cosponsor H.R. 5448, the "Perkins Loan Extension Act," a bill introduced by Congressman John Spratt that has bipartisan cosponsorship. Please also notify them of the critical need for appropriations to fund cancellations and provide more financing for students.

To locate the contact information for your legislators, please visit www.contactingthecongress.org (an excellent online resource for this information, but not affiliated with COHEAO). As always, if you have any questions on contacting your legislators, please contact Wes Huffman (whuffman@wpllc.net). Please also share any feedback you receive from your calls with us.

This is important, so please call. Thank you!
