Day at the Capitol

Tuesday, March 11  |  8:30 a.m. - 2:15 P.M. |  MN State Capitol

The State Grant Program is a critical piece of many Hamline students' higher education funding and represents more than two million dollars in total aid to Hamline students. Day at the Capitol provides a unique opportunity for Hamline students to participate in the legislative process by encouraging state legislators to support the State Grant Program. Join hundreds of other student advocates for a powerful day of advocacy training, skill-building, meeting with legislators, and networking. Together, we’ll ask our legislators to support college students and increase funding for the State Grant program.
