TG Issues 2008 Edition of School Fact Sheets About Texas Colleges, Lenders
Round Rock, TX — TG has issued the latest edition of its School Fact Sheets, a useful publication about Texas institutions of higher learning and lenders that provide loans to their students.
The 2008 edition includes pertinent information about Texas two- and four-year public and private institutions and proprietary schools, along with key data about the schools and the students they serve — including demographics, typical federal student loan debt loads, official cohort default rates, and loan volume information.
In keeping with its corporate vision, TG creates and makes available this information in furtherance of its responsibilities as administrator of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).
The update of School Fact Sheets is available in an interactive HTML version and lists lenders providing FFELP loans at schools with helpful links to each Lender Fact Sheet. The information is updated monthly.
"School Fact Sheets has evolved into a well-read resource for many, including prospective students and their families, as well as those interested in keeping up with trends and issues in the higher education and lending communities," said Jeff Webster, TG's assistant vice president for research and analytical services. "The feedback we receive consistently indicates that schools, lenders, legislators, and others find the information relevant and useful in helping them understand the costs of higher education in Texas."
The School Fact Sheets include data from TG, the U.S. departments of Education, Agriculture, and Housing and Urban Development, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas, Texas Legislative Council, and various other sources.
The School Fact Sheets can be found at www.tgslc.org by going to "Schools" and selecting "School Fact Sheets" under the "More Resources" category.
