McGill University
[Date]The Honorable [full name – use to find your representative][Room Number] [Name] House Office Building United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515Dear Representative [last name], My name is [name] and I am a U.S. Citizen currently attending McGill University in Canada. As your constituent and post-secondary student, I would like to draw your attention to the inequity that exists in the US Direct Loan (Title IV aid) program for Americans who choose to pursue their degree outside of the United States. The US government, through 34 CFR 668.5, restricts choice and access for American students who must use government student loans through the US Direct Loan program to finance their studies. Students who receive US Direct Loans to study at a foreign school are not able to participate in study abroad/exchange programs at schools located in the US or at a foreign school which does not participate in the US Direct Loan program.? This regulation affects more than 23,000 American students in 400 foreign schools worldwide each year.? This impacts students, like myself, of modest or normal means who require government loans to assist with the cost of post-secondary studies.? Students attending schools in the US have no such limitations or restrictions placed on their educational experiences.? If ‘international education’ is a U.S. government priority, as is the ability to choose the education best suited for the individual, then why am I disadvantaged simply because I’ve chosen to study at a highly reputable school outside of the U.S.?Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I appreciate your efforts to promote educational opportunities for American students, and I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely,[Your Name][Your Address][Your City, State, Zip][Your Phone Number?]Important note to student: McGill is a member of the International Education Council (IEC), a non-profit organization that works closely with foreign schools to lobby for policy changes on behalf of American students pursuing their degree outside the U.S. It would be helpful to provide a copy of your letter to us.studentaid@mcgill.ca as well as contact@ ................
