Student Loans

As the cost of financing the higher education system falls increasingly on students, student loan debt has risen at alarming rates. Although student debt is a problem that crosses class and racial lines, low-income and Black students are much more likely to borrow, to borrow more, and to struggle with repayment. Relief options are confusing, servicing is often poor, and borrowers pay the price.
