Advocacy Day will bring together Michigan Independent Colleges & Universities at the State Capitol to meet with legislators and policymakers to advocate for continued investment in the Michigan Tuition Grant (TG) and Michigan Achievement Scholarship (MiAS) as well as bring attention to independent higher education institutions in Michigan.

The event runs roughly from 9am to 3pm but meetings may be scheduled outside these times if required by a legislator. MICU will set up legislative meetings for your institution. Lunch will be available to attendees. MICU will share an agenda, talking points/materials, and legislative meeting times (times and locations that you will meet with your Senator, Representative, and staffers within your institution's legislative district) with you prior to the day.

There is a $500 per institution fee to participate in Advocacy Day.
