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 the United States. A component of the HEGIS XIX survey package, this data collection furnishes final finance data for 3,302 colleges and universities and their branches throughout the United States. Information is supplied on current funds revenues by source, current funds expenditures and mandatory transfers by functions, physical plant assets, indebtedness on physical plant, details of endowment assets, changes in fund balances, tuition and fees, federal grants, local grants, and annuity additions and deductions.
