The Honorable [Full Name of Senator/Representative] Mailing Address City, State, Zip

Dear [Senator/Representative],

My name is (First and Last Name). I am a resident of [City or Town], South Carolina and I am writing as a [Parent/Student/Community Member] who has benefited greatly from the programs and services of South Carolina Student Loan.

I am writing today to urge you to support SC Student Loan and the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).

[In this paragraph, describe the best aspects of SC Student Loan from your personal perceptive. Use personal examples or expand upon the below bullet points to demonstrate the value added SC Student Loan has for you, your family, or your community.]  Our caring local service representatives  Financial aid night presentations  Individual visits to guidance counselors  Our sponsorship of Personal Pathways to Success  Our participation in nearly 120 college fairs across the State  Our free speakers bureau covering a large range of business and educational topics for schools, churches, community groups and others  Our quarterly newsletter for guidance counselors  Our promotion of the teaching profession through the Teacher Cadet Program  Our administration of the SC Teachers Loan Program  Our many publications that explain the steps students and parents should be taking to prepare for college

Therefore, I respectfully ask you to carefully consider the benefits of Federal Family Education Loan Program and South Carolina Student Loan and offer alternatives to eliminating FFELP as you work on a resolution to the President’s proposed budget.

Sincerely,

[First and Last Name, City/Town, South Carolina]
