[ADDRESS]
Dear [NAME OF SCHEDULER]:
[REPRESENATIVE OR SENATOR NAME] represents numerous TRIO programs in
[STATE/DISTRICT] that have helped hundreds of low-income and first-generation
college students matriculate and succeed in institutions of higher education. These
programs have resulted in thousands of success stories, and in order to maintain this
flourishing momentum, we need to secure a solid foundation of support from
[REPRESENATIVE OR SENATOR NAME].
I would like to request a meeting with [REPRESENTATIVE OR SENATOR NAME]
and/or the appropriate staff person to discuss issues pertaining to the continuance and
improvement of TRIO programs within [DISTRICT/STATE]. I expect to be joined in
this meeting by several other constituents of [REPRESENTATIVE OR SENATOR
NAME]. I will forward their names and titles to you before the meeting date.
I will call your office next week to follow-up and schedule an appointment with
[REPRESENTATIVE OR SENATOR NAME] and/or the appropriate staff person. In
the meantime, if I can provide any additional information or be of any further assistance,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
