Heidi Dziak, a junior accounting major from Bentleyville, Pennsylvania, and Shari Payne, vice president for enrollment at Waynesburg University, attended the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Pennsylvania’s (AICUP) Student Aid Advocacy Day in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, April 9.
AICUP's Student Aid Advocacy Day is a day set aside each year for students from AICUP member institutions to advocate for legislative support for private institutions of higher education.
More than 200 students, hailing from private, non-profit colleges and universities located all over the state, came together to meet with legislative representatives from local districts to advocate on behalf of PHEAA grants, the Ready to Succeed Scholarship, and other student aid interests that directly impact students at private colleges and universities.
