Iowa Community College Loan Default Rate Tops National Average
Federal data show 16.7 percent of Iowa community college borrowers default within three years, higher than four year private schools and state universities. Officials cite job prospects and student progression to four year degrees as factors, with all schools remaining eligible for federal aid. The three year rates rise above national norms, but will still meet aid requirements after 2012.
