Subject: Briefing on National Default Rates (Updated September 15, 2011)

Note: On September 15, 2011, we updated this announcement by replacing both the PDF and PowerPoint attachments. We added the year 2008 to the top of the chart on Page 2 of both attachments.

Attached is the “Briefing on National Default Rates” in Microsoft Power Point (PPT) format and Portable Document Format (PDF). The PDF file requires 4.0 or greater of the Free Adobe Acrobat Reader software.

Important Note: Some schools have a small number of borrowers entering repayment. At other schools, only a small portion of the student body takes out student loans. In such cases, the cohort default rate should be interpreted with caution.
