About These Data

For most institutions, the endowment values listed on this table are based on the fiscal years ending June 30, 2014 (for the 2014 fiscal year), and June 30, 2013 (for the 2013 fiscal year).

N/A means not available.

The change in market value does not represent the rate of return for the institution’s investments. Rather, the change in the market value of an endowment from FY 2013 to FY 2014 reflects the net impact of withdrawals to fund institutional operations and capital expenses, the payment of endowment management and investment fees, additions from donor gifts and other contributions, and investment gains or losses.

This table was prepared in January 2015. Changes to endowment values reported after January may not be reflected in the full 2014 NCSE report.

Corrections (1/29/2015, 3:03 p.m.): This table originally misstated George Washington University’s location. It is in the District of Columbia, not Virginia. The table also erroneously listed the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamon in place of the University of Scranton. And the table should have made clearer that the endowment values were rendered in thousands of dollars. The table has been updated to reflect those corrections.
