Albany, NY - Students from more than 70
colleges and universities attended Student Advocacy Day to
support student and institutional aid programs that ensure
access to higher education. Student Lobby Day is sponsored
by the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities
(CICU) in partnership with the Association Program Administrators
of C-STEP and STEP, and the Higher Education Opportunity Program
Professional Organization.
More than 1,000 students met with hundreds of lawmakers and
staff to seek full restoration of the Science and Technology
Entry Program (CSTEP) budget, cut by 50% in the Governor's
proposed budget.
