Expenditures for higher education over the last 10 years have remained essentially flat as a component of total state budget expenditures (as indicated in the table below). The appropriated budget for FY 2014, however, is 7.1 percent higher than actual higher education expenditures in FY This is the first positive increase for higher education after four years of decreases in spending. 10.0% 9.0% 8.0% 7.0% 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 4.4% Higher Education as a Percent of Total Connecticut State Appropriations 1 0.0% % 1 Illustrates the change in the portion of the budget devoted to higher education from 2004 to 2014 without fringe benefits. 1

4 Funding Connecticut Higher Education Budget Of state appropriations dedicated to higher education, the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) System accounts for 44.5 percent, the University of Connecticut (UConn) represents nearly 30 percent and another 18.7 percent goes to the UConn Health Center. Much smaller percentages support student financial aid in the form of the Governor s Scholarship Program (6.2 percent), and the administrative functions of the Office of Higher Education (0.6 percent). Total estimated spending is $328.6 million for UConn and its Health Center, and $300.9 million for CSCU. Combined, dollars going to UConn and CSCU account for 93.1 percent of higher education spending. More than half of the $42 million dedicated to student financial aid has traditionally been awarded to students attending these public institutions.

The lower tuition and fee charges at Charter Oak result from changes made to reduce its reliance on fees, and greater emphasis on course work. UConn s increase of 5.8 percent for in-state commuting students compares to a national average of 3.7 percent for state flagship institutions. CSCU s increase of 5.4 percent for in-state commuting students attending its State Universities compares to a national average of 4.1 percent for similar types of institutions; the Community Colleges increase of 5.5 percent for in-state commuting students compares to a national average of 4.5 percent for like institutions. From 2009 to 2014, tuition and fees for in-state undergraduates have increased 24.7 percent at the Connecticut State Universities, 26.9 percent at the Community Colleges, and 28.7 percent at UConn. With the exception of Charter Oak State College, all of the planned 2014 increases are greater than the estimated Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) rate for 2013 of 1.6 percent and the corresponding 2013 CPI rate of 1.6 percent. These increases also exceed the national inflation rate of 1.5 percent for the 12-month period ending in December

Over the last five years, UConn s required tuition and fees have grown a total of 28.7 percent compared to a regional average of 29.0 percent, and a national average of 33.8 percent.

19 Student Financial Aid Connecticut Student Financial Aid In 2013, Connecticut undertook the first reform of its financial aid system in 30 years and created a single, student-centered means for distributing state college assistance through the new Governor s Scholarship Program (described in detail on page 18). Previously, the state had provided college financial assistance through three programs: 1. the Connecticut Aid for Public College Students (CAPCS) program, which provided need-based financial aid to students attending Connecticut s public colleges and universities; 2. the Connecticut Independent College Student Grant (CICSG) program, which provided needbased financial aid to students attending Connecticut s private colleges and universities; and, 3. the Capitol Scholarship Program (CSP), which provided merit/need based aid to students attending any Connecticut institution of higher education, as well as institutions located in designated reciprocal states. The total amount appropriated to these programs grew from $33.1 million in 1999 to a high of $64.1 million in 2011, an increase of 94 percent. By 2013 however, total funding dropped to $45.2 million or by 29 percent. Over this two-year period, funding reductions averaged 20 percent for the CAPCS program, 32 percent for the CICSG program, and 48 percent for the CSP program. $70,000,000 $60,000,000 $50,000,000 $40,000,000 $30,000,000 $20,000,000 $10,000,000 $- Appropriated Funds State Student Financial Aid CAPCS CICSG CSP TOTAL 17

20 Student Financial Aid The number of student recipients under all three programs is reflective of both available funds and the number of those who qualified for aid based on eligibility requirements and demonstrated need, using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The number of those awarded aid reached a high of 30,896 in 2011 and then dropped 17 percent to 25,551 students in During this two-year period, the CAPCS program served 14 percent fewer students, the CICSG program served 19 percent fewer students, and the CSP Program served 26 percent fewer students. 40,000 Number of Student Recipients ,000 20,000 10, CAPCS CICSG CSP TOTAL The average amount of individual student aid awards under all three programs peaked in 2008 and has since declined, reflecting available appropriations. Between 2011 and 2013, the overall average aid award dropped 14 percent (7 percent for the CAPCS program, 16 percent for the CICSG program, and 30 percent for the CSP program). $5,000 $4,000 $3,000 $2,000 $1,000 $- Average Student Award CAPCS CICSG CSP TOTAL 18

21 Student Financial Aid The Governor s Scholarship Program The Governor s Scholarship Program (GSP), which became effective on July 1, 2013, combines all non-programmatic, state-funded student financial aid into one student-oriented program administered by the Office of Higher Education. The GSP program supports degree-seeking undergraduates at Connecticut non-profit colleges and universities who attend either full-time or part-time. Applicants must be Connecticut residents, and awards must be used for tuition, fees, books and supplies. GSP is composed of three components: 1. a merit- and need-based scholarship, 2. a need-based only grant which has three attributes: a) a community college grant, b) a four-year institution grant, and c) a Charter Oak State College grant. 3. an incentive award for students who have sufficient credits to graduate in two or four years, and who exceed minimum satisfactory academic performance standards. No student may benefit from both the merit/need and need-based only components. Awards are renewable based on satisfactory progress and continuing need, and are available for 1.5 times the minimum time to graduation (3 years for a 2-year college; 6 years for a 4-year college). GSP has several objectives, among them: Access - awards go to the neediest students first. Retention - awards contribute to students staying in school. Completion - awards encourage students to obtain a degree in the shortest time possible. In addition, GSP applies the same eligibility and award standards to all students regardless of the college they attend, and targets those students with the greatest need. This approach provides consistency for students, a means of measurability for the state, and the most effective use of funds for taxpayers. 19

In 2013, FTE enrollment across Connecticut higher education reached a record high of 159,412, a 27.6 percent increase over the 2003 total of 124,914. At the state s public institutions, FTE enrollment in 2013 stood at 87,003, an increase of 21.1 percent over the 2003 total of 71,864. At the state s independent institutions, FTE counts totaled 72,409 in 2013, an increase of 36.5 percent over the 2003 total of 53,050. FTE enrollment at the state s public institutions accounts for 54.6 percent of Connecticut s total higher education population, down slightly from the 2003 share of 57.5 percent. 1 Note: Enrollment is measured on a Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) basis because the number of full-time students is more directly related to funding needs than the number of students through headcount. 21

This downward trend is in stark contrast with the previous 7-year period of annual record-breaking growth. The annual decline in FTE enrollment at the state s public institutions from 2012 to 2013 is due to a 1.8 percent drop in FTE counts at the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) System.

Averaged out over the past decade, however, FTE enrollment across the state s public system has grown by 15,139 students, or 21.1 percent, with counts up by 20.4 percent at UConn and 21.4 percent at the CSCU System.
