How much do graduates owe after graduation?
Table 9: Government student loansThe average loan amounts are the average of self-reported debt upon graduation for students who had government student loans only. For this study, only the levels of debt the graduate accumulated in the program for which they were being surveyed was reported. Loans from family members, private loans or private lines of credit are not included in this analysis. The level of student debt reflected in this table is therefore likely to be an underestimate of graduate indebtedness.As described above, some college graduates were funded by HRDC. Programs that had large numbers of sponsored students would have fewer graduates reporting loans and likely those reporting loans would have lower levels of debt.
