The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) Series was designed to provide comprehensive information on various aspects of postsecondary education in the United States and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Marshall Islands) and Department of Defense schools outside of the United States. The Financial Statistics Survey is part of the HEGIS XVII package which was distributed to nearly 3,300 institutions of higher education located in the United States and its outlying areas. This study contains final, edited data and includes data for 3,294 institutions, of which 306 have been imputed. Items specify current funds revenues by source, current funds expenditures by function, physical plant assets, indebtedness on physical plants, endowment assets, and changes in fund balances.
