本研究旨在探討我國政府對私立大學校院獎補助政策之相關問題，期藉由本研究所獲得之結果提供政府規劃及執行私立大學校院獎補助制度之參考。

為達成此一目的，本研究採文獻分析及比較分析之方法蒐集相關文獻及各國政府統計資料，探討國內外大學教育發展過程中私立學校的發展定位，並分析由於大學教育環境的轉變對於私立大學校院發展定位所造成的影響，同時探討政府對於私立大學校院提供獎補助的基礎，進而以私立大學教育發展最具特色而分別代表不同典型的美國、英國及日本三個國家，分析其私立大學校院發展之現況以及其政府對私立大學校院獎補助之辦理情形與發展趨勢，藉此與我國私立大學校院發展之情形及政府獎補助狀況做比較分析。

根據本研究的結果有幾點重要的發現：

一、由於大學教育自由化及普及化的趨勢，私立學校在大學教育扮演的角色日益重要。

二、政府對私立學校所提供的獎補助方式及範圍，因各國不同的社會政治及教育環境背景而有所不同。但共同的趨勢則是逐漸重視教育機會的公平性、市場機能的發揮及獎補助的實質成效，並逐漸加重受益者對教育成本的分攤，及學校財務自主的責任而降低政府對教育成本分攤的比重。

三、我國政府對私立大學校院的政策，從早期的消極性監督管理逐漸轉變為積極性的輔導協助。近年來將私立大學校院的獎補助列為政府施政及調整教育資源分配的重點，對於私立大學校院的發展確實已經發揮一些具體的成效。

四、基本上，我國政府對私立大學校院的獎補助只偏重於資源分配的公平性考量，並未清楚釐清對私立大學獎補助的目的及功能及其相關之問題，對於學校的保障更甚於對學生的保障，對於大學教育的長遠發展及教育市場的自由化助益有限。

根據研究之結論，本研究以實務的觀點提出幾點建議，供政府相關部門規劃私立大學校院獎補助政策之參考。

一、政府應釐清對私立大學校院獎助與補助之目的。

二、在補助方面政府應更重視對學生直接的補助，而非對學校辦學的補助。

三、政府對學生提供之就學補助應配合學生的需求及能力，採取不同的標準及方式。

四、對私立大學校院之獎助應建立更公平客觀之評量依據。

五、政府應著力於營造有利公私立大學校院公平競爭的環境，並建立淘汰的機制，而非給予制度的保障。

六、私立大學應建立更多元自主的財源管道，政府則應在相關的制度上提供必要之協助。

七、大學運作應更透明化、公開化，以社會的監督取代政府的管制。
