We need your help!

The Iowa College Student Aid Commission is in the running for a $50,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant. If funded, the grant will be used to incorporate a financial literacy resource in the statewide community web portal, www.IHaveaPlanIowa.gov. We have the potential to impact the future of nearly every Iowa student to help them learn good money management skills.

The Pepsi Refresh Project is an open voting system, and we need to rank in the top 10 in the $50,000 category on May 31, 2010 to receive funding. Public involvement is needed to ensure we get the votes.

How Iowans can help:
1. Register at www.refresheverything.com
2. Vote every day in May at: www.refresheverything.com/
missionmoneycontrol
3. Spread the word to your family, friends, co-workers, colleagues, and, of course, your social networking groups.

Thank you so much for your help! We really need a big boost this last week of voting.  Too many young adults graduate from high school and college unprepared to take control of their finances. Receiving this grant could help us change that for Iowa's youth.

Thank you,
