Association for Education Finance and Policy

The Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP) is a dynamic organization for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners tackling the most important education finance and policy issues of the day across the spectrum from early childhood to postsecondary and beyond. AEFP offers opportunities for members to engage with one another around rigorous research that can inform education finance and policy decisions. Our interdisciplinary membership is committed to generating and communicating knowledge that is intellectually rigorous and practically useful. AEFP is committed to being an intellectual community that fosters and welcomes diversity of opinions across multiple disciplinary, methodological, and contextual backgrounds. We strive to welcome scholars and practitioners across all experience levels whose research and practice are based in disciplines, methods, and contexts that may or may not have been traditionally valued and advanced in education policymaking. Ultimately, we strive to improve education policy so that all students have access to educational opportunities and are given the means to succeed in school and their lives.
