Abstract: Southeast Asia and Oceania present daunting geographic barriers for higher education delivery, and include some of the most remote and rural locations on earth. These factors create unique access, equity, and financial challenges for the region. Within this context, we examine good and best practices of six higher education finance models at Brigham Young University–Hawai‘i (USA), Far Eastern University (Philippines), Singapore National University, University of Hawai‘i System (USA), University of the South Pacific (12 Oceanian countries), and Wānanga higher education institutions (New Zealand). Policy and practice recommendations are provided in the conclusion section for higher education administrators, researchers, and government policymakers and planners.
