Iowa student loan defaults rise while delinquency holds at 7 percent
Defaults climbed 28 percent to 15.9 million in the past fiscal year for about 6,400 loans, yet officials say overall delinquencies remain near 7 percent. The rise reflects higher loan volume and more guarantees, not new delinquencies, with total guaranteed loans increasing to 178.4 million and a projected 200 million for about 80 000 students this year. The Iowa Guarantee Student Loan Division was fully reimbursed for default claims and audit shows 1.139 billion in outstanding loans, up 11 percent from the prior year.
