Access Missouri awards are at risk – Take action today!

The threat to limit the Access Missouri program in the 2010 Legislative Session is real.  Let your elected representatives know today that you support keeping Access Missouri as is, so that a college education remains within reach for all Missouri students attending Missouri colleges.

Here are four simple things you can do NOW to protect Access Missouri for all Missouri students:

1. Join our coalition. The simplest thing you can do is become a member of our coalition. We’ll keep you up-to-date on what is
   happening in the Missouri Legislature and let you know how you can help. Tell your family and friends to join too.
   
   
2. Contact your elected representatives in the Missouri House and Senate. Call, e-mail or write their district office and tell them what Access Missouri means to you or to the college future of someone you know. Ask your legislators to OPPOSE Senate Bill 784 and House Bill 1812.
