Collegeclassroom677

At Kennedy King College, 26.3 percent of borrowers who started repaying student loans in 2014 defaulted on those loans by the end of 2016, according to a Higher Education Tribune analysis of the latest disclosure from the U.S. Department of Education.

The analysis uses data that tracks borrowers at all publicly controlled colleges and universities receiving federal student aid. The 2014 cohort accounts for borrowers who entered repayment on selected federal loans in the given fiscal year and defaulted before the end of the second fiscal year.   

Altogether, 59 public institutions based in Illinois had 75,028 borrowers in repayment in the 2014 cohort. And 8,050 of them were in default – a default rate of 10.73 percent, which is below the national rate of about 11.5 percent.
