What is Christian higher education worth? According to a recent CCCU economic impact study:

• CCCU institutions are responsible for more than $60 billion in economic impact each year.
• Even though they are tax exempt, CCCU institutions still generate $9.7 billion in federal tax revenue each year. For every $1 in federal grant money a student receives, CCCU institutions generate more than $20 in federal tax revenue.
• The student loan default rate for graduates from CCCU institutions (6.3%) is nearly half the national average (11.5%).

CCCU institutions are also doing their part to serve the “least of these” and make a positive impact in our country, highlighted by the following statistics:

• 1 in 3 CCCU students are first-generation college students.
• 50% of CCCU students come from families that make less than $50,000 per year.

Thanks for the impact you make here at HU on a daily basis! For more information about the entire study, read about it here.
