In fiscal year 2011, Harvard University’s tax-exempt endowment
jumped in value by about $4.17 billion, rising from $27,557,404,000 to
$31,728,080,000--but that did not stop Harvard from collecting tuition
and fees derived from federal grants and student loans that U.S.
taxpayers provided to Harvard undergraduates.
Other universities with major endowments--including Yale and
Princeton (from which the author of this article graduated)--also saw
massive increases in their endowments and they also benefited from their
students paying tuition and fees with federal grants and loans.
In the 2009-2010 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Education, Harvard undergraduates received $4,093,140 in federal Pell Grants and $1,467,017 in federal student loans.
