Ask TG™ is TG's online database of financial aid questions and answers for borrowers, families, schools, and students. The tool includes an online query form which customers can use to quickly and conveniently gather information on financial aid topics.

Ask TG's information covers a wide range of topics collected from the 30 years that TG has provided customer service to schools and students. To date, visitors have viewed more than 180,000 answers to FAQs and asked more than 9,200 original questions of the database — many of which have been added to the FAQs to help those with similar inquiries in the future.

Timely topics dominate the questions submitted by customers. A recent look at some of the most popular questions shows that borrowers are asking questions related to resolving default.

School and borrower customers are also interested in how teachers qualify for the Federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program. "Is a teacher who provides direct instruction in reading only considered a special education teacher?" ranks high among submitted questions for schools.

Borrowers are also investigating their options for repayment. "What is deferment? What types of deferment are available?" is being asked by borrowers.

The myTG^SM portal has drawn significant interest through Ask TG also. The portal is a self-service website designed to help borrowers monitor payments on TG-guaranteed loans, as well as provide a way for borrowers with defaulted loans to make payments.
