American college application organization
The Coalition for College,[1] formerly the Coalition for Access, Affordability, and Success (CAAS), is an American nonprofit organization that runs the Coalition Application, a U.S. college application platform. It was founded in 2015, aiming to provide a holistic application that assists disadvantaged students.[2][3][4][5][6] Its main competitor is the more widely used Common Application.[5]
Coalition Application process[edit]Students can apply via the Coalition Application, which is available through Scoir Inc specifically for over 150 member schools that can be located on Coalition for College's website. A variety of application fee waivers can be utilized in order to make applying for college accessible to students.[7]
The Coalition launched with 83 member schools, which were required to meet a set of criteria for selectivity and access.[7] 56 institutions used it in its first year.[3] As of 2019[update], approximately 150 institutions offered it.[1]
Some higher education experts were intrigued or excited by the application's launch. Others questioned whether it will truly help improve college access.[7]
In 2019, Inside Higher Ed reported widespread complaints that the application was difficult to fill out.[1]
As of 2023, the Coalition Application partnered with Scoir, Inc to make finding and filling out the application much easier for students. With a variety of fee waivers, it also has made applying to college more accessible than other applications.
