Özet: Humanity has tried to learn unknown from the first man to today. Universities have been one of the first sources of preference to learn the unknown. Over time, increasing demand for universities has resulted in the proliferation and growth of universities. This has resulted in increased funding to the universities. It has been seen that the necessary funding sources of the universities are unified and diversified. In this study, the existence of a relationship between spending and student numbers at universities funded by the government in Turkey has tried to be determined. For this purpose, 53 state universities that were established before 2006 were examined. The time frame was set between 2006 and 2016. Associate, bachelor, master, doctoral student numbers and university expenditures are defined as the main variables. Panel data analysis was performed using the fixed effect model as an analysis. As a result of the analysis made, a positive, linear and strong relation was found between student numbers and expenditures. It has been determined that expenditures made in state universities have increased due to the indirect effects of the increase in student numbers.
