A new study from the Institute for College Access & Success finds that seven in 10 seniors (68 percent) who graduated from public and nonprofit colleges in 2015 had student loan debt, with an average of $30,100 per borrower. This represents a four percent increase from the average debt of 2014 graduates, according to the study. The report includes national, state, and college data on student debt from federal and private loans, as well as policy recommendations for reducing the burden of student debt.
