Revenues

Federal Government

This is revenue received from the federal government, in the form of appropriations, restricted and unrestricted grants and contracts, and federally-funded research and development centers. The annual change is typically 3.9%, with a low of 2.1% and a high of 6.8%. Recent changes have tended toward the lower end of the scale.

About 14% of private university revenues come from the federal government, although this percentage has been declining recently.

State Government

This is revenue received from the state government, in the form of appropriations, unrestricted grants and contracts, and restricted grants and contracts. The annual change is typically -0.5%, with a low of -5.8% and a high of +8.3%. About 1.9% of private college revenues come from state governments. This percentage has been steadily declining.

State support for higher education has been declining steadily for decades and is one of the first budget items to be cut during a recession. Private colleges, however, are less dependent on state governments than public colleges, so the declines have a negligible impact on changes in tuition.
