TG Mails Revised School Fact Sheets

Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TG) has updated both the printed and online versions of the School Fact Sheets for 1999.

The School Fact Sheets are a service of TG and provide students and families with timely and accurate information to help them make informed decisions about postsecondary education. The updated paper version was mailed recently to more than 900 legislators, schools, lenders, and other interested parties. The updates include additional information about lenders and their loan volume at each school - a section that is updated online monthly.

School Fact Sheets
For more than five years, TG has produced School Fact Sheets in order to portray a broad range of data about many postsecondary institutions in Texas in a single document. All the information provided in the printed version is also in the online version, making TG's School Fact Sheets a convenient resource for a variety of users.

The School Fact Sheets provide data about specific institutions, including information about enrollment, costs, academics, and financial aid. The School Fact Sheets provide legislators with key information about schools, lenders, and students in their districts, such as population served, dependence on loans, and cohort default rates. Lenders also refer to the School Fact Sheets for important information about their school business partners, such as cohort default rates, median borrower indebtedness, and graduation rates. (More highlights about financial aid trends are available in the "Did You Know" section of TG Online.)

You can find electronic versions of TG's School Fact Sheets in both PDF and HTML on TG Online at www.tgslc.org under "Resources for Students and Families," "Resources for Schools and Lenders," and "Publications." The School Fact Sheets also are available on Adventures In Education at AdventuresInEducation.org under "Selecting a School."
