    Coalition Member Colleges have all passed a vigorous vetting process from the Coalition for College to ensure that they “provide substantial support to lower-income, under-resourced and/or first-generation students; offer responsible student financial aid; and demonstrate a commitment to student graduation.” Each of these schools has demonstrated a strong commitment to affordability and strong student outcomes, and you can apply to them through the Coalition Application.
