This article considers the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation and modernization of the economic mechanism for providing financial support to non-state higher education institutions from the perspective of a systematic approach. In the context of deep institutional changes in the educational services market in developing countries, the search for optimal models for the financial sustainability of private educational corporations is becoming increasingly important.
