With loan default rate jumping, officials are becoming nervous
Article Abstract:
Lawyers' skyrocketing education loan default rates have lenders and school administrators concerned. The Access Group, the largest private lender to law-school students, expects the 1992 class's default rate to hit 20% by Dec 1996, and its insurance carriers threaten to drop coverage for 20 schools. Median indebtedness for the 2/3 of 1995 graduates who borrowed money was $40,300, with the average at some schools projected to hit $95,000 by 1998. Schools have begun aggressively educating students about their loans.
