New Study to Examine Effects Of Alternative Loans on Financial Aid Policy
WASHINGTON
The Institute for Higher Education Policy, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) and The Education Resources Institute (TERI) announced the launch of a research project that will examine the dramatic increase in privately funded, or alternative, student loans and the effect these loans have on students and higher education policy.
The project is funded by TERI, and NASFAA’s research committee will organize a series of focus groups of financial aid administrators that will provide the opportunity to discuss private/alternative loan issues on their campuses.
