Embassy Suites, Des Moines

From budget cuts to issues of preparation, access, and degree completion, the students we work with face difficult decisions as they consider their postsecondary options. Meeting with elected officials is an important way to make your opinions heard on these and other issues.

During Visit the Hill, participants will be provided the necessary training and information to help lobby for issues critical to the interests of students transitioning from high school to college. Participants will then go to the state capitol to meet with their representative and senator.

Past breakout session topics have included,

• Prior-prior year and changes to the FAFSA
• College funding
• Effectively engaging with elected officials
• College readiness and preparation

There is no cost to participate in the Visit the Hill program. Travel scholarships are available. To RSVP please visit, https://www.iowaacac.org/visit-the-hill
