As of November 12, 2025, several institutions have expressed interest in signing on to the Compact:
Valley Forge Military College, a private, co-educational, two-year military college in Pennsylvania, was the first institution to sign up. Valley Forge sent a letter to Dr. David Barker, Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education, expressing its "desire and honor" to be part of the Compact. Specifically, it stated that "Participation in the Compact would provide valuable opportunities for collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement." The letter said that Valley Forge was "particularly eager to contribute to discussions on leadership education student resilience and pathways from two-year programs to four-year institutions."

Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university located in Phoenix, Arizona, announced that its policies and mission aligned with the Compact, but said it would not officially express interest until it received clarity on any potential developments since the Compact's initial rollout. The University's spokesperson stated: "[W]e have not yet received any official information or invitation from the Department of Education, nor do we know if any revisions have been made based on initial feedback," and explained, "We'll await those developments before determining any next steps or"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rzwssbbh2royppm6lulh42t2/bafkreigtde5vpwetquwhoufpbsxo5rzph4fmvqzo3idczfurhn4b3dpwfe@jpeg)
