Funding for Wales • Planned funding for HEFCW is to increase by 5.8% in 2005-6 - considerably above forecast RPI inflation. • Much lower levels of increase after 2006 – but these exclude any Supplementary Income Stream or top-up income for 2007-8 AUT 2005 - HE income
HEFCW grant • The 2005-6 HEFCW recurrent allocations to Welsh HEIs are increasing overall by 4.95%. (HEFCW W05/12HE) • The five main pre-92 HEIs are to receive an increase in HEFCW grant of between 3.3% and 7.8% - the latter being the increase for Lampeter. AUT 2005 - HE income
Funding for Scotland • Funding for SHEFC for the period of the 2004 Spending Review is generous, rising by 8.3% in 2005-6. • Total grant and fees for Scotland rising by 7.2% in 2005-6, then 10.6% in 2006-7 and 6.5% in 2007-8. AUT 2005 - HE income
SHEFC grant • The grant allocations to Scottish HEIs by SHEFC (SHEFC HE/08/05), show a lower rate of increase for 2005-6, of 3.4%. • There are various reasons for this: the recurrent grants to institutions do not include all the funding SHEFC will allocate; the funding for SHEFC is in financial years, while the funding by SHEFC is in academic financial years. • AUT(S) says there are various elements of funding made during the year which bring the level of funding increase to HEIs to ~6.5%.
