Appropriations &  Budget

CECU closely monitors the annual federal budget process. This is an ongoing process: as soon as Congress finalizes the budget and funding for one year, negotiations commence for the following year. CECU tracks and focuses on how the decisions made may impact student aid. We also try to determine if the appropriations process is the appropriate method and avenue to address and concerns of our schools with current or pending regulations that Congress may have issue with. Throughout the process, CECU's Government Relations team meet with congressional staff, analyze policy and impact, and provide advice on legislation.
