Abstract | States invest in public higher education in two primary ways: through direct funds to institutions (general operating support) and direct funds to students in the form of state financial aid programs (student grant aid). General operating support is the larger of the two funding categories, totaling $80.8 billion in 2019, while state financial aid allocations totaled $12.3 billion. To gain a deeper understanding of the impacts this state investment in higher education has on student outcomes, we examine the historical data and empirical literature on state support for higher education. We find clear evidence that increased financial investments--specifically, increased state general operating and student financial aid--are directly tied to student success in higher education. These findings suggest that states will not meet their attainment goals or the workforce demands of the modern economy without sustained investment in the public higher education sector. We conclude with finance policy solutions that states and the federal government can adopt to support their efforts to reach state postsecondary attainment goals and close equity gaps in degree attainment and college completion.
