Abstract

Higher education institutions face an ever-evolving landscape where traditional funding sources are often insufficient to meet the growing demands for quality education, infrastructure, and research. In response, innovative funding models have emerged, redefining the way universities secure financial stability. This article explores the dynamic intersection of innovative funding models and financial sustainability in higher education, supported by insights from credible sources that shed light on the importance and impact of these approaches. The researcher used desktop research to collect relevant data.
