This table shows the number and percent of total FFEL program PLUS loan commitments (numbers of borrowers and dollar amounts), by type of institution (public 2- and 4-year, private 2- and 4-year, and proprietary).
- Between FY88 and FY92, the proportion of PLUS dollars committed to borrowers who attended public and private 4-year institutions increased. PLUS dollars committed to borrowers who attended private 4-year institutions continued to increase between FY92 and FY96, while the dollars committed to borrowers who attended public 4-year institutions decreased. In FY96, commitments to borrowers who attended private 4-year institutions were 30 percentage points greater than commitments to borrowers who attended public 4-year institutions.
- Commitments of PLUS loan dollars to borrowers who attended private 4-year institutions increased more than 20 percentage points from FY92-FY96 (34.2 compared to 55.6 percent). During this same period, commitments of PLUS loan dollars to borrowers who attended public 4-year institutions decreased nearly 19 percentage points (43.8 compared to 25.2 percent).
- In FY96, 45.4 percent of PLUS borrowers who attended private 4-year institutions were committed 55.6 percent of PLUS dollars. In contrast, the proportion of PLUS borrowers who attended public 4-year institutions was 29.9 percent and the proportion of total PLUS dollars committed was 25.2 percent in FY96.
- In FY86-FY96, the proportion of PLUS loan dollars committed to borrowers who attended public and private 2-year institutions fluctuated slightly (2.5 and 0.9 percentage points, respectively).
