Download or read book Cut Too Deep Tuition Discounting at a Crossroads written by Rick Seltzer and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: or years, college administrators and board members have closely monitored tuition discount rates at their institutions. But they haven't always been comfortable with high and often-rising discount rates. Nor have they always had easy access to important context explaining why colleges and universities discount the way they do. These issues are likely to come to a head in today's rapidly changing higher education market. For all the attention tuition discounting receives from campus leaders and higher education experts, many report the practice causes consternation, misunderstanding and reflexive apprehension. Even those who historically have extolled discounting's benefits worry that ever-rising discount rates are starting to squeeze margins, diminish returns and bankrupt institutions. This question is being asked with increasing frequency: How long can sticker prices and discount rates keep climbing before the model reaches its breaking point? Discount rates affect institutions of various sizes, market positions and wealth levels in different ways. In order to successfully navigate the future, all leaders at a college or university, from enrollment manager to board member, will need a nuanced view of discount rates and the trends affecting them. This special report seeks to explore those trends and recent developments in discounting. It will review different strategies campuses are deploying as they seek to bolster their budgets and will suggest possible best practices institutions can follow. By exploring key concepts and developments in discounting, leaders can better evaluate their own institutions to prepare a course of action for a smaller-margin future that for many will require smarter pricing and better management.

Download or read book Tuition Discounting written by Loren Loomis Hubbell and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a model and an approach that institutions of higher education can use to analyze and project the impact of endogenous and exogenous factors on both net and gross tuition in the context of the increasing practice of tuition discounting. It is noted that two key questions drive this effort: (1) what influence does gross tuition pricing have on institutionally funded financial aid, and hence, net tuition? and (2) how much does a college or university need to increase its stated tuition rate to realize a desired level of net tuition revenue growth? To answer these questions, this report first examines relationships among tuition, student need, institutionally funded financial aid, and other institutional factors from a broad education industry perspective. The next section depicts the interaction of these elements by applying the discounting model developed to a fictitious, representative college. The detailed derivation of the model, and the formulae used, are presented in the appendix. (GLR)
Download or read book Tuition Discounting Study of Private Law Schools written by National Assoc. of College & Business Officers (NACUBO) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of tuition discounting--providing institutional aid to select students to offset the price of attending a college or university--is widespread in higher education, and its use has increased over the past few decades. NACUBO annually collects tuition discount rates and other data related to discounting among undergraduates at private nonprofit institutions, but very little is known about discounting practices at law schools or other graduate/professional programs.The 2016 NACUBO/AccessLex Tuition Discounting Study of Private Law Schools was commissioned by AccessLex Institute in part to provide more recent information on tuition discounting practices at law schools, and to measure the effects of discounting on law schools' finances. The use of institutional grant aid to attract and retain law students has become even more important, as many programs have had to grapple with declines in their numbers of applicants and enrollments. This challenging context has prompted law schools to implement a variety of practices and policies to raise their enrollments, including increasing their financial aid expenditures.

Download or read book Tuition Discounting written by Sandy Baum and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent data from the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges reveal significant variation in institutional aid patterns among colleges and universities. The undergraduate tuition discount rate--the ratio of institutional grant aid to published tuition and fee charges--is higher at private institutions than at public institutions, but there are also notable differences within sectors. It is not just the magnitude of the discounts offered that is important but also the purposes of the discounts and the distribution of the grants to students in different circumstances. Since 2000-01, the total discount rate has been relatively stable in the public sector but continues to rise in the private sector. Breaking the discount rate down into aid that meets financial need, aid that goes beyond financial need (or goes to students with no documented need), and the more specialized categories of tuition waivers and athletic awards. This report presents a summary of the report analysis and findings.

Download or read book The Effect of Unfunded Tuition Discounting on the Financial Health of Very Small Colleges written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Very small colleges, under 750 students, are valuable and yet vulnerable institutions in American higher education. Without financial stability, very small colleges are more susceptible to failure in the face of economic challenges. Very small colleges adopt many of the same financial strategies used by larger colleges without consideration that the size of the college may require different strategies. This study considered the relationship between the unfunded tuition discount rate and the financial health of private, non-profit, four-year, baccalaureate colleges. Enrollment, institutional debt and institutional wealth were then used as moderators in a moderation regression analysis to determine the effect each of these variables may have on the relationship between the unfunded tuition discount and the financial health. The findings of this study revealed a negative relationship between the unfunded tuition discount rate and the financial health of very small colleges. This relationship was moderated by both enrollment and institutional wealth. Implications and recommendations for practitioners include the need to reduce the unfunded tuition discount at very small colleges in order to improve financial health."--Leaf 3.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuition discounting has been a long standing practice among private colleges and universities. The scholarly research devoted to this topic over the past forty or more years has been very limited especially on the impact of discounting tuition on the finances and net revenue of the institution. This study traced trends in total student enrollment, minority student enrollment, low-income student enrollment, net tuition revenue, tuition and fees, institutional discounting, including funded and unfunded institutional aid, selectivity, and SAT scores; examined the existing relationships between net tuition revenue and institutional factors such as institutional discount rate, funded tuition discount rate, unfunded tuition discount rate, enrollment of low-income students, minority student enrollment, and selectivity; and probed into whether tuition revenue could be determined by one or a combination of institutional factors including net tuition revenue, funded tuition discount rate, unfunded tuition discount rate, enrollment of low-income students, minority student enrollment, and selectivity at the 121 private, not-for-profit, liberal arts institutions in the United States. This research study did show that a strong, negative relationship existed between the funded and unfunded institutional tuition discount rate and net tuition revenue.
