Table 14.
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program number of borrowers and dollar amount of Stafford Subsidized, Stafford Unsubsidized, and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans, by academic level: FY 1997-FY 2000
This table shows the number and percentage of FFEL borrowers and dollar commitments made to postsecondary education students between FY 1997 and FY 2000, by academic level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate students). Total FFEL commitments for all loan programs are shown in addition to the commitments for each loan program: Stafford Subsidized, Stafford Unsubsidized, and PLUS.
In FY 1997-FY 2000, the proportion of total FFEL dollars committed to each academic level remained relatively stable. Graduate students received the largest proportion, about 32 percent annually, followed by freshmen, who received about 23 percent of the total FFEL dollars committed annually. The remaining committed dollars were spread fairly evenly across sophomores, juniors, and seniors, at about 15 percent annually.
Contrary to the Stafford Subsidized program, which generally mirrored the overall FFEL distribution, the Stafford Unsubsidized program committed an even greater proportion of total FFEL dollars to graduate students. About 43 percent of the total Stafford Unsubsidized dollars were committed to graduate students annually from FY 1997 to FY 2000. The proportion of Stafford Unsubsidized dollars going to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors was lower by two to four percentage points for each of the academic levels.
The parents of dependent freshmen received almost half of the PLUS program dollars, while the parents of dependent sophomores received another quarter. The parents of dependent juniors and seniors received about 15 and 12 percent of total PLUS program dollars, respectively. This pattern held each year from FY 1997 to FY 2000.

- Graduate students are not eligible to receive PLUS loans. 1 Total borrowers column may not equal totals provided in other tables. This column represents the sum of each distinct academic level reported for the borrower during the fiscal year. Since borrowers can change academic level over the fiscal year and they may change this at different rates than other characteristics, the total borrower counts in tables that describe other characteristics will naturally be different. Totals also include data from a small number of borrowers who were missing on academic level. NOTES: Volume measure is FFEL commitments. Details may not add to totals due to rounding. Calculations are based on numbers before rounding. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, National Student Loan Data System. |
