Student Loan Counseling Challenges and Opportunities
Appendix B: Participant Database
Notes for appendix B data:
- Data is derived from institution websites, US News, and NCES IES.
- The "Diversity" measure (% non-white) includes all students who identified with a racial or ethnic background other than white. Students identifying with multiple races are counted as "non-white."
- Size descriptions are based on Carnegie Classification system.
- Percent receiving financial aid refers to all aid, not just federal loans.
- The default rates shown refer to federal loans only, and describe the default rate for the institution overall, not the specific school within the institution at which the participant works.
