REPORT RELEASE: Student Debt and the Class of 2019
Our 15th annual report, Student Debt and the Class of 2019, will document that debt levels remain near all-time highs and that some groups of students – particularly low-income students, Black and Latino students, and students who do not complete their programs – are the most likely to struggle to repay their loans.
