The University of Chicago, with $10.3 billion as of a recent date, is missing from the list. Please add it after checking the exact amount. 2603:300A:1400:D200:A552:12A4:6F59:F2EC ( talk) 08:58, 28 October 2023 (UTC)Larry Siegel, University of Chicago
An IP editor continues to change the figure for Stanford from the NACUBO-sourced one to one that includes non-endowment funds such as expendable funds and capital reserves per their reference here. The IP editor has been asked to discuss the edit but has not yet done so. Here is another opportunity on this talk page for them to discuss why they think their edit is more appropriate in this article. 72Dino ( talk) 20:05, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Should be on the list as per the wikipedia page on Syracuse University lists its endowment at $1.01 billion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.6.168 ( talk) 22:03, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
With the new NACUBO rankings, there are now 70 universities with $1 billion or more in endowment. This criteria ($1 billion minimum endowment) that is currently used for listing a university is untenable to maintain as the number of schools qualifying will continue to grow. Therefore, I think we need to rethink the criteria for inclusion. How about the "Top 50 largest endowments". That way, the criteria is scalable no matter how large endowment values grow with time. CrazyPaco ( talk) 02:08, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Limiting the list to universities with endowments over $1bn makes this extremely selective, and ignores the vast majority of institutions. I would much rather see a list of the top 200 or 300. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrcheatham ( talk • contribs) 17:17, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
Also, when it comes to the "Endowment per Student" section, I would like to see a much more complete list. It's not really helpful to see just 50 schools. I would think the relevant list should be the top 300+ schools sorted automatically by endowment per student. That's what the "Endowment by Student" section is supposed to be about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrcheatham ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
Why is the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), which has a membership of 2,500 colleges and universities, the only source for endowment market value calculations used in the table?....for several reasons. Primarily, for matters of consistency and thus comparability from one institution to another, including comparisons over time.
The NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments is the only third party WP:SOURCE available for the consistent calculation, and thus comparison, of the market value of most higher education endowments. It is the most thorough endowment report, represents the industry standard for such comparison, and is an organization whose credibility is beyond reproach. The consistency of this annual reporting, not only between institutions but also from year-to-year, allows for the best possible, although sometimes inherently imperfect, comparisons of endowments between different institutions. On the other hand, any one institution's own financial reports may not necessarily calculate endowment market value in the same manner as required by NACUBO, or they may vary in the inclusion of different components such as including or not including real estate valuations or non-liquid assets. Thus other reports of endowment market values from other sources may not necessarily be directly comparable to NACUBO figures, and in fact, endowment market values reported the NACUBO study reports and those seen in official annual financial reports published by individual institutions (easily found by googling for any particular school's financial report) are often inconsistent. Furthermore, universities that comprise systems or have branch/regional/satellite campuses may or may not include endowments restricted to individual campuses in a manner different than the figures reported to the NACUBO study, thus making the relative comparability between NACUBO and non-NACUBO sources less clear. And perhaps most obviously, the date of individual institution's market value calculation may not be done on the same date as those in the NACUBO study thus making them inherently incomparable. Therefore, to ensure endowment market values are as comparable and consistent as possible from one institution to the next, and from one year to the next, only the values from this third-party source, NACUBO, are included in the article's table. CrazyPaco ( talk) 07:23, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
If we are going to use NACUBO as the sole source, the article should be renamed to indicate that the numbers are NACUBO's. The numbers disagree with many numbers directly reported by the universities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.160.127 ( talk) 04:45, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Cincinnati, OU, and SUNY endowment numbers were updated from each institution's June 30, 2022 financial report, which is the also the date used by NACUBO. The revision was undone by @ Smokefoot. Because they are not included in the NACUBO study, these institutions were updated individually. If the article will use NACUBO as the sole source, it seems these institutions should be removed from the list. This is further supported by SUNY and OU not appearing in the 2021 NACUBO report currently cited. Redraiderengineer ( talk) 15:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
However, we should note that ALL of the data in the endowment survey report, including returns by asset class, are self reported, with no easy way to to provide independent verification. It is therefore possible that some survey respondents reported returns for periods prior to June 30.
I don't think system-wide endowments should be listed in a list comparing those system-wide endowments to endowments of specific individual universities. In many cases, these system-wide endowments include endowments from several independent university campuses, health science centers, research centers, law schools, agriculture center, and other institutions that are not part of the flagship university. It is comparing apples to oranges. Those system-wide endowments create a false view of the flagship university's actual endowment. Treydavis3 ( talk) 20:41, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I will be adding tables depicting universities producing most millionaires and billionaires. Financial endowments are mostly comprised of donations to the institution. In the recent years, alumni giving has become even more crucial as tuition puts strain on undergraduate students and un-funded graduate students. Though, those are rarer at better universities with large endowments(as listed in this article). Furthermore, alumni contribution has picked up as public universities face budget cuts from their representative governmental agencies. Social stratification has also been a new trend in higher education that relates to financial standings of universities. This is old news, but it's no big news that the best and most selective universities also have the largest endowments. Higher ed scholars believe that the recent stratification is partially due to a divide between university haves and haves-nots.
The reader of the encyclopedia will gain valuable information comparing the institutions producing the most financial successful alumni relative to their endowment. The source is a legitimate source(BusinessInsider) which is frequently used by higher education publications such as higher Ed Today and the Chronicle of Higher Education.

On the second table, if you try to sort by enrollment, it sorts alphabetically, rather than numerically, so you get 1,000; 1,500; 1,980; 10,450; 15,000; 19,000; 2,000; etc. I know there's a template that can be added to numbers to they sort right, but not sure what and don't have time right now to track it down.

I know this article only cites NACUBO, but the CSU system in California has a $1.4 billion endowment system-wide. Can we include that here? -- Eustressmeister ( talk) 15:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
Rutgers reached 1 billion in December 2015. [1] Itsnotmyfault1 ( talk) 20:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
It seems that the link for the most recent NACUBO endowment study is broken. That slippage may explain the wildly inaccurate figures cited for some schools for that year. Given the falsity of that column, it would be useful for someone to find a good source for NACUBO and to make the appropriate edits. I don't seem to be able to find a good citation or would do it myself rather than posting about it
PS: don't seem to be able to move my comment above the Rutgers footnote: apologies. I'll leave my post up for a day or so and then delete it to restore the note to its proper position.

Hi all, I cleaned up the (spammed) citations on the uni list and updated the dead links with working ones. After I changed this however, the "sort" function on the table has glitched somehow. I set the table to sortable but doesn't seem to work. May be an experienced wiki user can help to identify the issue and clear up sortability on that table. Thanks. GreaterPonce665 ( talk) 05:11, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
I updated the table for privates today. The references remain needful of checking. The data for publics will be inserted later. The table of $/student was old and the definition of a student was challenged. NACUBO provides these data, so I included them for the privates. On a related topic, it would be nice to have an article on state dollars allocated to higher ed. -- Smokefoot ( talk) 00:31, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@ Sdkb: The historical data on endowments/institution were removed. That removal is ok with me. It was sorta interesting to see the year-on-year growth/decline in some cases. -- Smokefoot ( talk) 23:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
I realized that NACUBO also seems to publish endowment per student data; see https://www.nacubo.org/Research/2020/Public-NTSE-Tables (see "Table: U.S. and Canadian 2020 NTSE Participating Institutions Listed by Fiscal Year 2020 Endowment Market Value, Percentage Change in Market Value from FY19 to FY20, and FY20 Endowment Market Values Per Full-time Equivalent Student (Excel)"). It's not quite as user-friendly as College Raptor, but it's more up-to-date and a more direct source, so we should probably switch to it. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:39, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
I'm fed up with having to revert IPs trying to make updates to individual institutions who don't see or don't heed the editnotice. It'd really be nice if the WMF would take up meta:Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Mobile_and_apps/Mobile_editnotices (aka phab:T201595). {{u| Sdkb}} talk 21:24, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
News reports suggest that 2020 witnessed dramatic changes in university endowments, several ranging from 30-50+%. It is likely that readers will be keenly interested in not just the new numbers but the previous (2019) values. This idea is not actionable until February or March, 2022, when the next NACUBO report appears.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 20:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
I am respectfully asking @ Smokefoot: to please stop randomly re-ordering items in the table. Whether or not a table is sortable, information should not be sorted randomly by default. Filetime ( talk) 00:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
It would be very helpful, especially in providing reference for various pages, if there was a global ranking of colleges and universities by endowment size. A long-standing statement on the University of Cambridge page that it is "among the wealthiest in the world" is clearly true but in question; in supporting it, however, we are forced to convert currencies and make sure affiliated colleges are included in that number. I'll do that work for this particular page and will even help, best I can, in working with anyone interested in developing the global list. But a global list would be a very helpful page in many ways; we should develop it. HarvardStuff ( talk) 21:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Large endowment but not on the >$1 billion list. See https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_372.asp 2600:4040:278E:A400:EDB3:2CB1:94E:56D1 ( talk) 21:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
I can’t see any good reason to continue to privilege self-reported data from one association of institutions. Most edits I see on this page are a fly-swatting edit-war of removing non-NACUBO schools whose data is just as reliable as those who have merely chosen to associate together. So long as data reasonably reliable, and is of the same type, other schools should be added.
Aside from making our job much easier, are there other compelling reasons to privilege the NACUBO data? — HTGS ( talk) 02:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
For the record, the other schools I have seen added by IPs are SUNY, Liberty University, College of the Holy Cross, University of Cincinnati and Brigham Young University. There may be others that would make the list, but I doubt there are many more. — HTGS ( talk) 06:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

The data on the right column are from https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d22/tables/dt22_333.90.asp. "Endowment funds of the 120 degree-granting postsecondary institutions with the largest endowments, by rank order: Fiscal year 2021" The idea here is to show other data for those that doubt NACUBO. The risk of overwhelming readers and inviting even more meddling. The data for public schools deviate more strongly from NACUBO.

On the second table, if you try to sort by enrollment, it sorts alphabetically, rather than numerically, so you get 1,000; 1,500; 1,980; 10,450; 15,000; 19,000; 2,000; etc. I know there's a template that can be added to numbers to they sort right, but not sure what and don't have time right now to track it down.

I know this article only cites NACUBO, but the CSU system in California has a $1.4 billion endowment system-wide. Can we include that here? -- Eustressmeister ( talk) 15:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
Rutgers reached 1 billion in December 2015. [1] Itsnotmyfault1 ( talk) 20:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
It seems that the link for the most recent NACUBO endowment study is broken. That slippage may explain the wildly inaccurate figures cited for some schools for that year. Given the falsity of that column, it would be useful for someone to find a good source for NACUBO and to make the appropriate edits. I don't seem to be able to find a good citation or would do it myself rather than posting about it
PS: don't seem to be able to move my comment above the Rutgers footnote: apologies. I'll leave my post up for a day or so and then delete it to restore the note to its proper position.

Hi all, I cleaned up the (spammed) citations on the uni list and updated the dead links with working ones. After I changed this however, the "sort" function on the table has glitched somehow. I set the table to sortable but doesn't seem to work. May be an experienced wiki user can help to identify the issue and clear up sortability on that table. Thanks.

I updated the table for privates today. The references remain needful of checking. The data for publics will be inserted later. The table of $/student was old and the definition of a student was challenged. NACUBO provides these data, so I included them for the privates. On a related topic, it would be nice to have an article on state dollars allocated to higher ed. -- Smokefoot ( talk) 00:31, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@ Sdkb: The historical data on endowments/institution were removed. That removal is ok with me. It was sorta interesting to see the year-on-year growth/decline in some cases. -- Smokefoot ( talk) 23:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
I realized that NACUBO also seems to publish endowment per student data; see https://www.nacubo.org/Research/2020/Public-NTSE-Tables (see "Table: U.S. and Canadian 2020 NTSE Participating Institutions Listed by Fiscal Year 2020 Endowment Market Value, Percentage Change in Market Value from FY19 to FY20, and FY20 Endowment Market Values Per Full-time Equivalent Student (Excel)"). It's not quite as user-friendly as College Raptor, but it's more up-to-date and a more direct source, so we should probably switch to it. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:39, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
I'm fed up with having to revert IPs trying to make updates to individual institutions who don't see or don't heed the editnotice. It'd really be nice if the WMF would take up meta:Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Mobile_and_apps/Mobile_editnotices (aka phab:T201595). {{u| Sdkb}} talk 21:24, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
News reports suggest that 2020 witnessed dramatic changes in university endowments, several ranging from 30-50+%. It is likely that readers will be keenly interested in not just the new numbers but the previous (2019) values. This idea is not actionable until February or March, 2022, when the next NACUBO report appears.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 20:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
I am respectfully asking @ Smokefoot: to please stop randomly re-ordering items in the table. Whether or not a table is sortable, information should not be sorted randomly by default. Filetime ( talk) 00:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
It would be very helpful, especially in providing reference for various pages, if there was a global ranking of colleges and universities by endowment size. A long-standing statement on the University of Cambridge page that it is "among the wealthiest in the world" is clearly true but in question; in supporting it, however, we are forced to convert currencies and make sure affiliated colleges are included in that number. I'll do that work for this particular page and will even help, best I can, in working with anyone interested in developing the global list. But a global list would be a very helpful page in many ways; we should develop it. HarvardStuff ( talk) 21:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Large endowment but not on the >$1 billion list. See https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_372.asp 2600:4040:278E:A400:EDB3:2CB1:94E:56D1 ( talk) 21:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
I can’t see any good reason to continue to privilege self-reported data from one association of institutions. Most edits I see on this page are a fly-swatting edit-war of removing non-NACUBO schools whose data is just as reliable as those who have merely chosen to associate together. So long as data reasonably reliable, and is of the same type, other schools should be added.
Aside from making our job much easier, are there other compelling reasons to privilege the NACUBO data? — HTGS ( talk) 02:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
For the record, the other schools I have seen added by IPs are SUNY, Liberty University, College of the Holy Cross, University of Cincinnati and Brigham Young University. There may be others that would make the list, but I doubt there are many more. — HTGS ( talk) 06:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

The data on the right column are from https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d22/tables/dt22_333.90.asp. "Endowment funds of the 120 degree-granting postsecondary institutions with the largest endowments, by rank order: Fiscal year 2021" The idea here is to show other data for those that doubt NACUBO. The risk of overwhelming readers and inviting even more meddling. The data for public schools deviate more strongly from NACUBO. We could even limit both tables to a combined 120 institutions, as set by the U.S. Dept. of Ed.-- Smokefoot ( talk) 00:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi–Amherst College is not listed in the "Endowments per student greater than $1 million dollars, probably because the cell in the NCSE Endowment Market values is blank for that category. Amherst is still definitely in the Williams-Pomona range. What should be done about this? Kwafsdnva ( talk) 03:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
