Pell Grants |
| Though Pell grants increased after 1996, the educational debt of graduating seniors jumped to $16,928 in 2000 from $9,188 in 1992. A third of students graduate owing more than $20,000 in education loans, and nearly half of all student borrowers graduate with credit card debts that average $3,176. By 2000, 64 percent of students relied on loans to help finance their education. |
