Take action today!!!

We need your help, you can make a difference!

The Iowa Legislature recently released a bill that would cut UNI's funding.

These funds are used to run the university and provide financial aid to Iowa students.

Legislature currently funds a 50 million dollar Iowa Tuition Grant program, but these funds are only available to Iowa students who go to for-profit and private colleges and universities.

Students are being deprived of full access to funding. In a time when student debt is rising nationally, UNI students should be eligible to access this Tuition Grant program.

71% of UNI students from Iowa are in need of financial assistance and could benefit from these tuition grants.

Within a time that the education budget bill is moving very quickly, it is imperative that we make our voices heard as soon as possible.

Please help us take a stand by taking a moment to send a message to your state senator and state representatives!

Topic pointers for these conversations can include:
- Asking Legislators how they can cut financial support for Iowa students who go to UNI, which may lead to tuition increases, but fund financial aid packages for Iowa students who go to for-profit and private colleges and universities.

-Urging Legislators to allow UNI students from Iowa to access the Iowa Tuition Grant program. Reminding them that UNI students stay in Iowa and become Iowa taxpayers. 88% of UNI students come from Iowa and 92% of students from Iowa stayed in Iowa after graduating.

Thank you in advanced - NISG

"I have known Jamal almost my entire college career and I can say he is the best fit for this leadership position. He has held and succeeded in many leadership roles on campus, whether it be president of Dancer Hall Senate, Orientation staff, or just being a fantastic representation of UNI. Tristan adds to UNI his experiences as a resident assistant, unending loyalty, and his unfathomable love for UNI. Both of these candidates have a deep connection with their university, and I admire it. With such a strong passion for their college, I know they will do all they can to accomplish their goals. They both have such a hard and noble work ethic and they will not rest until they make the best, better." - Tim Scheve, Junior

"I support the diversity and inclusion that Jamal and Tristan will bring to the Student Body. I believe Jamal and Tristan are two very qualified leaders that are also very personable with everyone on campus. Having this team as a representation of UNI would showcase a professional, yet inclusive team that encourages many different people to be engaged with the student body." - Carlos Aldape Jr., Freshman
