National Student Clearinghouse – Why Work For Us?
Founded in 1993 by the higher education community, the National Student Clearinghouse® relieves the administrative burdens and costs related to student data reporting and exchange.
We are a 501(c)(6) nonprofit and nongovernmental organization and the leading provider of educational reporting, data exchange, verification, and research services. The services we offer have been provided at the request of our participating institutions to enable them to better serve their students. Our work — performed in a trusted, secure and private environment — provides numerous time- and cost-saving benefits to students, schools, administrators, and requestors.
- More than 3,600 colleges and universities participate in the Clearinghouse, reporting enrollment and degree information to us regularly throughout the year
- Participants enroll 98% of all students in public and private U.S. institutions
- Our free and low-cost services save higher education institutions over $750 million annually
Through our research arm, the National Student Clearinghouse® Research Center™, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we provide educators and policymakers with accurate longitudinal data on student outcomes to enable informed decision making.
Our informal and friendly atmosphere encourages both teamwork and individual initiative. Clearinghouse employees enjoy competitive compensation and benefits, along with a high-performance and supportive working environment. We look for employees who are happy, energetic, smart, and like to help others.
The Clearinghouse values high performance and exceptional customer service while being a recognized leader in work-life balance and one of the best places to work for commuters.

"Growing is good"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at National Student Clearinghouse full-time
Pros
Benefits (health, education, 401K), meaningful mission and the company is actually focused on it, management at all levels are focused on both success of the company and employees.
Cons
There is a lot of change, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as you address the people who don't want to learn new ways to do things. Right now, some really good people are making up for the shortcomings of others.
Advice to Management
Seeing some of the recent comments, I felt the need to share a different perspective. If you do your job and focus on supporting the organization’s mission, you will be successful. Opportunity for personal and professional growth is plentiful if you want it and will work for it.
