Funding Models

FY 2026

FY 2026 Adjusted February Payment Runs. The FY 2026 Adjusted February Payment Runs document shows the funding amounts community colleges can expect for the February 2026 payments. Refer to the February 23, 2026, memo “Disbursement of February Community College Payment” for details about the methodology used to calculate the adjusted payments.  

FY 2026 Final Foundation Funding Runs. The FY 2026 Final Funding Runs show each college’s minimum FY 2026 formula funding allocations (assuming no errors) and how they differ from FY 2025 amounts. These initial allocations include the FY 2026 Foundation Payment (from the FY 2026 Funding Model below) and FY 2025 Projected Settle-Up Adjustment (from the FY 2025 Projected Settle-Up Model below), which accounts for the update to FY 2025 performance funding with new data but does not include estimates of the February Dynamic Adjustment. 

FY 2026 Foundation Forecasting – Stakeholder Guide. The stakeholder guide is a companion tool for the FY 2026 Performance Tier foundation forecasting program. It provides step-by-step instructions for running the FY 2025 and FY 2026 forecasting R Markdown (.Rmd) files in RStudio to generate student outcome forecasts. The guide is designed for stakeholders with limited R experience. 

FY 2025 Projected Settle-Up. This downloadable file shows college-level recalculation of FY 2025 performance funding amounts using updated 2024 data. The difference between recalculated performance funding and net FY 2025 performance funding disbursements to date is the Projected Settle-Up Adjustment, which is an input to FY 2026 funding as reflected in the FY 2026 Final Funding Model and Final Funding Runs above. 

FY 2026 Final Formula Funding Model. This downloadable file shows statewide and college-level minimum state funding amounts and the disbursement schedule for FY 2026 with supporting data and calculations. 

FY 2025

Formula Funding Runs. Statewide and school-level funding allocations for FY 2025 are available. Access information about total funding, performance outcome detail, Base Tier funding detail, and other factors that drive the forecasted allocations. 

Dynamic Adjustment Model: The FY 2025 dynamic adjustment model recalculates FY 2025 performance funding with the FY 2024 actual outcomes data in place of projected values. It shows the additional February funding amounts relative to the foundation payment for colleges whose performance exceeded projections. Assuming no changes to the FY 2024 outcomes data, any negative differences between foundation payment performance funding and recalculated performance funding will be applied to the October 2025 (FY 2026) payment.

Close-Out Funding Model: The FY 2024 close-out model recalculates FY 2024 funding amounts using the most up-to-date certified data to ensure the results reflect all necessary updates/corrections and compares the recalculated values to FY 2024 disbursements. The close-out adjustment adds the difference (whether positive or negative) to the October payment of FY 2025 funding.
