Penn State Students to Lead Advocacy Efforts
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — On Monday, more than 200 students from University Park and Commonwealth Campuses will visit the State Capitol Building.
It’s to meet with elected officials from across the commonwealth to talk about their Penn State experiences and advocate for fair funding for Penn State.
Leaders say past Capitol Days have been consequential in securing the University’s annual state appropriation, which supports Penn State’s in-state tuition discount.
The discount saves the average Pennsylvania resident student approximately $15,000 each year.
Students plan to lobby for this annual State appropriation starting at 9:00 AM.
