Private higher education expenditures constitute one of the factors determining higher education demand. In this study, it is aimed at determining the level and types of teacher candidates’ private expenditures, and the factors influencing the probability of making higher private expenditures. The sample of the study was drawn among the students enrolled in Mersin University Faculty of Education in 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022. A model comprising five factors influencing the probability of making private expenditures higher than the average was developed. In this model educational background, family background, other cost related variables, higher education aspirations and future teaching labor market expectations were included as determining factors. Data were collected by a questionnaire developed by the researcher. Model was estimated by logistic regression analysis. Results show that variables representing all five factors have significant impact on the probability of making higher private expenditures. It is concluded that the model has a power on explaining the problem of the study.
