Your AI agent for federal higher ed data

You can ask anything you would typically look up in federal databases: graduation rates, enrollment trends, peer comparisons, financial aid data, cost of attendance, post-graduation earnings, and more. Just phrase it naturally, like "How does our 6-year graduation rate compare to similar institutions?"

Clema supports IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System), STATS (FVT/GE), the OBBBA program-level Earnings Premium dataset, College Scorecard, EADA (Equity in Athletics Data Analysis), Federal Pell Grant data, Cohort Default Rates (CDR), DAPIP (Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs), PSEO (Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes), Campus Safety and Security (Clery Act) data, and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) occupational wages and employment projections.

Clema uses official federal data directly from government sources. Clema refreshes the data on the federal release cycle, typically fall, winter, and spring for IPEDS. You always get citations with your answers so you can verify the source.

Yes. You can export query results to CSV or Excel, generate charts, and copy formatted responses directly into reports. Every answer includes proper citations for compliance documentation.

On this page, Clema queries only publicly available federal data, so no student-level PII is involved. For institutions using Clema with their own internal data, we maintain SOC 2 compliance, encryption at rest and in transit, and sign BAAs upon request.

The federal data portals require navigating complex interfaces, selecting specific variables, and often downloading files to merge manually. Clema lets you ask questions in plain English and get instant answers with visualizations. No downloads or data wrangling required.
