Changing topics a bit, education and intellectual curiosity have always been important drivers in my professional and personal life. The business and financial aspects of higher education have not been covered as in-depth as publicly traded corporations. It was nice to see The Wall Street Journal recently cover #endowments, particularly given political discourse around divestment. They recently featured an excellent overview by #MortyShapiro, retired head of my alma mater Northwestern University including some visuals of Columbia University (comprising Columbia Business School, my graduate alma mater). The impact of a single donor yielding to political pressures is far overshadowed by diverse sources of funding. The article at https://lnkd.in/e3F-cx2m discusses the value of financial aid and need for out-of-state or financially independent students as endowments and other sources of funding dry up or decrease, particularly with ebbing birth rates. Fortunately grants account for 30% of funding as well. Next up, I'd enjoy seeing a breakdown discussing the spiraling costs of tuition and what costs or funding sources can make #highereducation universally more affordable.#USuniversities

As Trustee of the financial education charity @Young Enterprise, it is heartening to see many of our recommendations featured in a report by the UK's Education Select Committee out today on Delivering Effective Financial Education. Some of these include: ✅ Advocating for a sustainable, teacher-led approach to financial education. ✅ Financial education to be made a compulsory part of PSHE in primary and secondary. ✅ High-quality financial education teaching materials are made readily available. �� Read more about how Young Enterprise champions young people to develop responsible money habits and be inspired by their futures - https://lnkd.in/e_SPundR #appliedlearning

Despite increased confidence, fewer business officers at universities are noting positive operating margins. According to the latest CBO survey, 57% noted a positive operating margin for fiscal year 2022–23, down from 76% the previous year. Looking forward to fiscal year 2023–24, 62% of respondents expect a positive operating margin. Notably, the sector plays a role, with 73% of CBOs at public institutions anticipating a positive margin, compared to 49% at private nonprofit colleges.

Did you know that access to a bursary reduces stress in students? For families already struggling financially, the pressure of funding education adds another layer of stress. This conversation is often avoided, especially in low-income households, because there never seems to be a “right time.” Our bursary management services are here to help students in vulnerable situations. By providing financial support, we empower students to pursue their education without the added burden of financial stress, improving their future and easing the strain on their families. Donors who partner with us become champions of change, opening doors to education, lifting stress and financial burdens, and creating brighter futures for families and the economy.
