If you or family members are among the thousands of North Carolina students to receive the state’s North Carolina Need Based Scholarship, please take a moment to thank your state legislators – in the North Carolina House of Representatives and the North Carolina Senate – for providing this essential scholarship for college access and completion.

Contacting your state legislators has never been easier. Click the “Take Action” button below and simply enter the information in the spaces provided.  Click “Go!” and follow the prompts. The names of your state senator and state representative will appear along with space to write a short email message to them.

Here are a few talking points you may want to consider:
1. Tell them where you are from, so they will know you are a part of their district.
2. Tell them which college or university you attend and your major, area of interest, or study.
3. Thank them for supporting the North Carolina Need Based Scholarship for our state’s private college and university students. Describe what this state financial aid program means to you and your family, and why funding this scholarship for all eligible NC Students is so important to the future of our state.

Thank you for making time to say thank you. Legislators often say that they only hear from constituents when there are problems. It is important for them to hear directly from students and families about the importance of this increased state financial aid support and the difference it makes for North Carolina students and families.
