Making the case since 1976, NAICU is the only national organization solely focused on representing private, nonprofit higher education on public policy issues in Washington, DC.
Protecting the independence of private, nonprofit institutions, and ensuring that all students, regardless of family income, have access to higher education, are the prisms through which NAICU views its policy choices and courses of action. NAICU’s policy mission has three core elements:
With its members, NAICU ensures adequate funding for core student aid programs, and protects those programs from excessive cuts.
NAICU works to maintain federal support for students and families through the current levels of tax benefits.
Tracking and responding to the growing regulatory demands placed on higher education institutions is a NAICU priority.
NAICU is the only national association advocating solely on behalf of private, nonprofit colleges and universities in Washington, DC. The association represents all 1,700 private, nonprofit colleges and universities and more than 5 million students.
