Connie Lee (College Construction Loan Insurance Association (CCLIA)
A formerly government-sponsored enterprise created by the Higher Education Amendments of 1986. The sole purpose of this organization was to insure and reinsure debt instruments that were issued by universities, colleges and other educational institutions to help fund building initiatives.
This organization's acronym has the same naming scheme as other government organizations like Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac. Investopedia Says:
