NAFSA International Student Economic Value Tool
NAFSA’s latest analysis finds that the 1,043,839 international students studying at U.S. colleges and universities contributed $32.8 billion and supported more than 400,000 jobs to the U.S. economy during the 2015-2016 academic year.
NAFSA conducts an annual state-by-state and congressional district analysis of the economic contributions of international students and their families to the U.S. economy.
The economic contributions of international students are in addition to the immeasurable academic and cultural value these students bring to our campuses and local communities.
