Colleges Spend More on Education Than They Charge
A study shows colleges generally spend more per undergraduate than tuition covers, boosted by federal aid, endowments, and government support. NCES data for 1995-96 to 1999-00 show loan and grant aid rising from 5 percent to 55 percent of undergraduates, with average aid amounts increasing from 4900 to 6265 dollars. Public and private institutions vary, with community colleges and public universities often costing more per student than tuition, while private four-year schools show larger gaps. The final cost formula, due next year, aims to help schools and groups understand cost shifts.
