About Us

The Coalition is comprised of schools dedicated to the continuous improvement and strengthening of the student loan programs. Its members are financial aid professionals working at participating institutions.


The Coalition is governed by a Board of Directors, which meets three times annually, and managed by an Executive Council, which conducts the organization’s business and affairs. The Executive Council is composed of five officers: Chair, Past Chair, Chair-Elect, Treasurer, and Secretary.
