A Closer Look at the Trillion: Borrowing, Repayment and Default at Iowa's Community Colleges, takes an unprecedented look at community college student borrowing and repayment behavior. The report uses data from all 16 community colleges in Iowa to examine the characteristics of borrowers and defaulters to help colleges and policymakers better understand and prevent default.

 

A Closer Look at the Trillion identifies ways through which colleges and policymakers can improve the outcomes of borrowers while preserving access to federal financial aid, and suggests ways institutions and the federal government can do more for our nation’s students.
