    CSWE joined with the American Council on Education and dozens of education associations in advocating for increased funding for colleges from congressional leaders. As students, faculty, and colleges prepare for a new semester during the coronavirus pandemic, CSWE urged for financial support from lawmakers in two letters on Aug. 6, 2020.
    The first letter voiced support for changes to the Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Main Street Lending Program (MSLP) in the next congressional COVID-19 relief package.
    The second letter urged lawmakers to ensure that the maximum possible funds are available for students and institutions in the Coronavirus Child Care and Educational Relief Act (CCCERA), the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act, and the Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection and Schools (HEALS) Act.
