The Education Finance Council (EFC) is a non-profit trade association that was established in 1993 to promote the common goals of not-for-profit and state-based student loan secondary markets. By representing public purpose organizations that are dedicated to the single purpose of maintaining and expanding access to higher education, EFC is able to focus its commitment on students who dream of attaining a college degree, on parents who want their children to have every opportunity to succeed, and on the educational institutions dedicated to shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
There are two levels of membership to EFC – Voting and Affiliate. EFC Voting membership is open to organizations that are not-for-profit entities, which include public agencies and non-profit organizations, a primary purpose of which is the purchase or funding of education loans. Affiliate membership with EFC is open to any organization involved or interested in the Federal Family Education Loan Program. This includes any organization that supports EFC’s primary goal – to expand access to educational opportunity and to ensure availability of funding for education loans for all students and families.
