TG updates School Fact Sheets, an interactive tool detailing student loan data on Texas schools and lenders
Round Rock, TX — TG has updated the latest edition of its School Fact Sheets, a useful, online publication about Texas postsecondary institutions and lenders that provide loans to their students. The interactive format features a dynamic search tool that allows users to set parameters for producing a list of schools meeting their specific criteria. A list of all lenders doing loan volume at a particular institution is also available.
The 2009 edition includes 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.
"TG's School Fact Sheets provides valuable background information on our state's institutions of higher learning and their lenders. This is especially important for students looking to make decisions on a postsecondary education, and determining the factors that best fit their needs," said Jeff Webster, TG's assistant vice president for research and analytical services. "The feedback we receive consistently indicates users 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 other sources.
In keeping with its corporate vision, TG creates and makes freely available this information in support of its responsibilities as an administrator of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).
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.
