Abstract

The widespread concern about financing higher education in different countries has led to a lot of movements. Policymakers have started to take advantage of this trend, and the universities themselves have come up with new insights into this new situation. The purpose of this study is to develop a suitable model for financing higher education in Iran, which is done by a combined research method. In the qualitative stage, after the interview and coding steps, the conceptual model was depicted based on systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin. In the quantitative stage, 155 people were questioned as a tool for evaluating the model. In order to test the questionnaire, factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, combined reliability and convergent validity methods were used, which showed that the results were acceptable and most of the cases had a suitable factor load. In the next step, the coefficients of significance between variables and standardized coefficients of the paths related to the hypotheses were calculated. Among the research hypotheses, there was a significant relationship between the model's pivotal phenomenon, which was the internalized diversification of funding, with academic independence and naturalness, but its significant relation with fair access to higher education and the reliability on financial resources was rejected. Also, there was a significant relationship between internal financing diversification with information, equipment, capabilities and experiences networking strategies, financial, mental and spiritual motivation, strengthening of stakeholder communication, development of required rules and regulations were approved, but were rejected by increasing international engagement and cooperation.
