Email: Requesting additional funding for student counselors at college
Subject: Request for Increased Funding for Student Counseling Services
Dear [Director of Student Services/Dean of Students/Relevant Official’s Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to advocate for increased funding to support counseling services for students at [College/University Name]. As mental health challenges among college students continue to rise, ensuring adequate access to counseling services is more important than ever.
Currently, [specific issue if known, e.g., "wait times for appointments are several weeks" or "many students report struggling to access timely support"] creates barriers for students seeking help. Expanding funding for counseling services would allow the college to hire additional staff, reduce wait times, and provide more comprehensive mental health resources.
Investing in counseling services directly supports student success by improving well-being, retention, and academic performance. I kindly urge the college to prioritize this need in the upcoming budget discussions.
Thank you for considering this important issue. I am happy to provide additional feedback or participate in further discussions to support this initiative.
Best regards,
