SGA Exec goes to Tallahassee

On Wednesday February 11th, 2009 three of the SGA executives headed to Tallahassee to meet with the Florida Legislature.

There trip focused on the Florida Resident Access Grant, which goes to all residents of Florida who attend in-state, private schools for higher education.

After more than a half-dozen meetings, the SGA representatives have firm commitments that the FRAG will continue; however, cuts should be expected. The executives also learned that the federal stimulus package may not benefit Florida's higher ed or transportation programs because of partisan politics.
