International students are now ‘subsidizing' public American universities to the tune of $9 billion a year

Tanza Loudenback Sep 16, 2016, 11:02 AM

Nearly 1 million international students study at colleges and universities across the United States, up 40% from a decade ago.

These students are heading stateside to gain access to some of the best higher education in the world — and they're paying top dollar for it.

In fact, recent data from SelfScore, a company providing financial services to international students, reveals that foreign students pay up to three times more than in-state students at public universities, "effectively subsidizing tuition costs for domestic students and functioning as a bailout for universities."

International students are crucial to the US economy in two primary ways: They're financing a chunk of education costs for public universities and their domestic students, and they're fueling the US tech industry.
