PRESIDENT STEINBERG HAS ASKED THAT THIS INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH OUR STUDENTS. THIS IS A LETTER HE RECEIVED FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE NYS HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES CORP:
Last week, I had the opportunity to address the Legislative FiscalCommittees about Governor Paterson's proposed New York Higher EducationLoan Program (NYHELPs).
This initiative will help New York State students and their families fillthe gap between college costs and State and federal aid by providing accessto low-cost education loans not currently available to New Yorkers in theprivate loan market.
Our NYHELPs fact sheet highlights the program's benefits to students,families and all New Yorkers, and tells supporters how to help make thisprogram a reality.http://www.hesc.com/content.nsf/SFC/New_York_Higher_Education_Loan_Program_NYHELPs/$file/NYHELPsFactSheet20090116.pdf
I ask that you share it with your students, faculty and staff and ask themto contact their legislators to support NYHELPs.
Additional resources are available on HESC.org, including links to contactstate lawmakers to tell them to enact NYHELPs.http://www.hesc.com/content.nsf/SFC/New_York_Higher_Education_Loan_Program_NYHELPs
There is also a NYHELPs page on Facebook which should appeal to yourstudents.
Thank you for supporting NYHELPs and helping New York students achievetheir dream of attending college.
Cordially,
