Making the Case

Association of Independent Colleges & Universities of Pennsylvania

for independent higher education

The state is going to have to make some tough funding choices this year.

As choices are made to distribute taxpayer dollars, we need the best return on investment.

Taxpayer funds should be spent wisely, and that means higher education should graduate students promptly in four years at as low a cost to the taxpayer as possible.

Taxpayer funds should also be used to leverage other funding.

Pennsylvania’s independent colleges and universities do just this—their students graduate in four years, cost the state less per degree than any other sector, and leverage billions in private dollars.

Please support independent higher education with both institutional and student aid.

Taxpayer funds used for higher education need to be spent

��

Note: FTE enrollment and degrees include all degrees at independent, state-related and state owned institutions. Community colleges are not included since many of their students are not degree-seeking.

In 2008-09 (latest data available), it costs the Pennsylvania state taxpayer...

$3,715 to produce a degree at a Pennsylvania private college or university,

and $23,768 to produce a degree at a Pennsylvania state-owned or state-related university.

STATE FUNDI NG


p gp g

Note: PHEAA funds have been distributed to the sectors according to the grants received by students in that sector. All higher education funds are included except for capital funds and other minor appropria-tions for which we cannot obtain a sector distribution. Federal ARRA Stimulus dollars are included.
