Financing Higher Education |
States provide substantial support for higher education:
• through direct support for the operation of institutions, particularly
public institutions
• through the financing of capital needs and the ownership of physical facilities
• through the availability of financial aid to students
|
The proportion of state financial support varies across states, sectors and institutional types. |
Expanding access, increasing student success, ensuring more equitable participation, meeting economic development needs, and promoting education excellence are among the most important purposes for state financing. |
