Effective Strategies in Managing Educational Financing for Islamic Higher Education Institutions in the Contemporary Era
Abstract
This study examines effective strategies for managing educational financing in Islamic higher education institutions, emphasizing adherence to Islamic finance principles[3] and addressing contemporary challenges. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research explores waqf revitalization[1], sukuk implementation[2], revenue diversification, and stakeholder engagement[4] as mechanisms to enhance financial sustainability and ethical alignment. Findings reveal that institutions leveraging waqf and sukuk demonstrate improved financial resilience and reduced reliance on tuition fees. Stakeholder collaboration and capacity-building initiatives[8] emerge as critical elements for optimizing financial strategies, ensuring accessibility, and advancing institutional missions in alignment with Shariah principles.
