In order to advocate for change, we have to #MakeTheCase!
Actively advocating for issues that you support — or oppose — may be new to you. But even if it isn’t, sometimes the process can be a bit intimidating. That’s why we’re here to help. Armed with accurate information and the right advocacy tools for the job, you can be a composed and effective advocate for your cause. Below are resources to assist your advocacy efforts, including how-to guides, infographics, state-based data sheets, fact sheets, and videos.
Infographics
- The Dangers of Limiting Graduate Loans on HBCUs
Reducing the cap on federal student loans as a tool to mitigate costs will have a devastating effect on law and graduate programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the students they serve.
- Roadblocks to Repayment
Black law students face disproportionate obstacles when it comes to achieving a legal education, leaving them prone to heavier debt burdens and negative outcomes.
- Importance of Child Care for Graduate and Professional Student-Parents and Caregivers
The cost and lack of access to child care present unique challenges to graduate and professional student-parents and caregivers.
State-Based Data Sheets
Our state-based sheets offer key insights into advanced degree enrollment and attainment, drawing on data from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the American Bar Association. These resources also highlight graduate and professional student borrowing patterns (e.g., Grad PLUS, Unsubsidized Loans) and broader trends in income-driven repayment (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), using data from ED.
