Robert W. Walsh, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Small Business Services, receives an honorary Pi Alpha Alpha membership; in his talk he inspired inductees to continue their commitment to public service. Special Public Service Loan Forgiveness Advocacy Mini-Grant
Posted 05/19/2017
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Mini-Grants will be awarded to two Pi Alpha Alpha Chapters to implement grassroots/advocacy plans that use students and alumni to outreach to and educate their members of Congress about the significance of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF). These $500 grants can be used for organizing letter writing and/or phone calling campaigns; lobbying members of congress in Washington and/or in their local districts, or creating and posting videos to various social media channels. Since NASPAA is a nonpartisan organization, Chapters are reminded that students should present evidence-based policy analysis, and that students with different views are encouraged to participate.
