State support for higher education is up 4.1 percent this year, according to a new report. The Grapevine report, released today, shows a slow but steady increase in state funding over the last few years. Between the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, 39 states reported increases in state funding, while only nine reported decreases. The remaining two states -- Illinois and Pennsylvania -- have yet to finalize their budgets and are not included in the report. Once those data become available, the national averages could change significantly, given the two states' size and significance.
