Abstract
International students have contributed $33.2 billion annually, on average, to the U.S. economy over the last five years, and have long been seen as a funding source for higher education institutions. However, cost represents both a burden and an increasingly complex landscape for international students and their families to navigate. A 2018 survey of international students worldwide revealed that their top concerns were the cost of living and the availability of scholarships. Fifty-six percent placed their annual household income below $25,000. In light of stagnating international student enrollment and growing competition from other higher education systems, a viable financial equation for both U.S. institutions and students is increasingly important for recruiting international students. Key factors for institutions to consider in determining this equation—and related policies and practices—include admission-related costs, tuition, and additional fees.
