Dear {Senator/Representative (Last Name)}:
I am writing today to urge you to release the 2015-2016 state funds and support future funding increases for Lincoln University and state-related universities. I graduated from Lincoln in {INSERT GRADUATION YEAR} with a {INSERT BACHELOR’S OR MASTER’S} degree in {INSERT MAJOR}. The world-class education that I received at Lincoln University at an affordable cost has successfully impacted my life. {If you are tied to the Pennsylvania in any way (i.e., you work in, live in, have relatives or visit PA often enough to have an economic investment), please elaborate how a Lincoln University education impacts the common good in the Commonwealth.}
Lincoln University is devoted to proving nurturing, supportive, and innovative learning environment and dedicated to student success. In a small setting, Lincoln University’s mentoring counselors, professors, and activities help students to bridge their backgrounds to achieve goals and build a hopeful future. {If you pursued a graduate and/or post-graduate education, explain how Lincoln helped you to matriculate to XYZ University or to Lincoln’s graduate programs, or perhaps helped you to graduate with low to no student loan debt. Conclude with your current profession and the fond memories you have of Lincoln University. If you are a business owner, especially within Pennsylvania or you do work within the state, mention number of employees you support and how this would not have been possible without the education received from Lincoln University.}
When you support Lincoln University and the other state-related universities, you support your constituents and the continued economic development of the communities you represent. For these reasons, I ask you to support the release of this year’s state funds and future funding increases for Lincoln University and the other state-related universities. I also urge your colleagues in Harrisburg to do the same. Please make this a priority.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Lincoln University, Class of {Insert Your Year of Graduation}
