The Higher Education Committee of 50 is a group comprised of college presidents, enrollment managers, admissions staff, financial aid and bursar leaders, members of governing boards, students, and other leaders from postsecondary institutions. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), in December 2017 invited forward-thinking leaders from public and private two- and four-year institutions across the country to apply to sit on the committee. The individuals selected to be on the Higher Education Committee of 50 were chosen because they expressed an interest and had experience in developing thoughtful, innovative ideas to show lawmakers that institutions of higher education are interested, invested, and believe in student equity, success, and outcomes.
