HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDING Abstract
As we research the impact of funding on higher education. We much know that there are three primary sources that affect funding. Revenue, we must know how to effectively increase revenue and set budget, so we are not wasting any money. The size of the organization matters as
well. For smaller universities or community campuses, leadership isn’t responsible for half as much has universities with larger numbers of students, organization and amenities, and funds for aid. Lastly, the efficiency of the organization. To ensure the institution is moving forward financially, and in scholar support. Focusing on these three factors together influence the entire dynamic of funding at higher education institutions. Federal and local governments determine how much funds will be allocated for the institution, additionally the amount of funds and manpower dedicated to promotion of the institution will affect the amount of incoming student the following year. It is important to understand how all facets of funding impact an institution.

Also, political agenda can shift the amount of funds a university has access too. For example, if the mayor is up for reelection and attended the institution you are attending, he may make that organization the face of his donation and the school may receive a large amount of funds. It is the job of leadership to determine the best way to invest funds so that the maximum benefit can be obtained (Johnstone & Maasen 2018).
Next, the productivity and efficiency of the institution is a major factor that influences the
status and longevity of the institution. It is the job of leadership to ensure that organization is allocating funds in the way that effects the university in a positive way. For example, using funds
