The general membership of the Council consists of all colleges and universities in Iowa that participate in State-supported student financial aid programs administered by the Iowa College Aid Commission and constituent agencies, boards, and associations.

Voting members consist of a representative of the Iowa Board of Regents; the presidents of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa; a representative of the State Board of Education; three representatives from the Iowa Association of Community College Presidents, one representative from the boards of trustess of the Iowa Association of Independent Colleges and Universities; three presidents from independent colleges and universities; a representative from the College Aid Commission; three representatives of Iowa Private for Profit Schools; and up to three student representatives.

The collection contains minutes, reports, and program information from the Council's early years (1967-71) and annual reports from the 1970s to the early 2000s. Beginning in the mid-2010s, the ICCPHSE made their meeting agendas, minutes, reports, and other documentation available as PDFs on their website.
