10 Colleges With Largest Financial Endowments: US News And World Report

Harvard University is the richest school in the country, as it has been for the past several years.

US News And World Report recently compiled a list of the country's richest colleges. Harvard is by far the richest -- its endowment is almost double of its next closest competition, Yale University.

The Report has more:

Of the 1,189 ranked colleges that reported endowment figures to U.S. News, the average endowment was roughly $313,182,000.

Individual reports ranged from Harvard University on the high end to Providence Christian College's $15,000, the lowest reported endowment. Though Harvard's endowment far outpaced even the next-highest school on the list (Yale University, with $19,174,387,000), 66 ranked colleges had endowments of more than $1 billion each.
