A decline in international student enrollment could significantly impact U.S. colleges and universities, with a predicted loss of about $3 billion in revenue if enrollment falls by 10 percent. According to a survey, three-quarters of institutions anticipate such declines, anticipating a loss of around $900 million in tuition revenues. Joann Ng Hartmann, NAFSA’s senior impact officer, conveyed feelings of frustration and uncertainty regarding the situation, highlighting the adverse implications for students and educational institutions pursuing their academic aspirations.
A 10 percent overall decline in international enrollment would cost U.S. colleges and universities about $3 billion in revenue. If NAFSA's numbers prove accurate, universities would lose about $900 million in tuition revenue alone.
Three-quarters of institutions surveyed by NAFSA predict their international enrollment will decline next year, with the majority predicting declines of at least 10 percent.
Joann Ng Hartmann stated, 'The mood is one of frustration and uncertainty. To see this very much self-imposed pain we've created is very problematic.'
Hartmann expressed further concern: 'We are putting yet another burden on students and schools pursuing their academic dreams.'
