Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS): Higher Education Finance Data, 1987-1988

This data collection contains information on finances for a sample of postsecondary institutions in the United States. The finance data, collected annually, are used for reporting and projecting capital outlays of two-year and four-year colleges and universities, trends in replacements of plant assets, and performance of endowment funds. The first part of the study, Institutional Characteristics, includes variables on control and level of institution, religious affiliation, highest level of offering, and state FIPS codes and abbreviations. Part A of the study, Current Funds Revenues by Source, provides each institution's current fund revenues by source (e.g., tuition and fees, government, gifts). Part B, Current Funds Expenditures by Function, covers expenditures for instruction, research, and plant maintenance. Part E, Scholarships and Fellowship Expenditures, covers scholarships and fellowships.
