RE: Race, Gender and Student Debt Data

Hi Oracle,

Did you have a chance to review our Race, Gender & Paying for College Report?

I thought it was really interesting that females tended to graduate with less debt than their male counterparts, except for black females who had $272 more in debt than black males. And, nearly two thirds of student debtors said their current loans have made it harder to save for retirement.

Did you have any thoughts on our new data or report?

Best,
Nate Matherson

Hi Oracle,

LendEDU released its Race, Gender & Paying for College Report analyzing the impact of student debt on today's graduates including which groups are most impacted. LendEDU surveyed over 1,400 college graduates currently working to repay student debt.

Highlights:


- White males graduate with the most debt of any of our subgroups, and white females graduate with the second least amount of debt.

- Hispanic/latino women graduated with the least amount of debt

- Women get less financial help from their families, yet women still have fewer loans to repay after college. 10% more females believe that student debt has made day-to-day finances more burdensome.

- Asians get the most financial help from their parents paying for school.


All respondents were screened to be a 4-year college graduate with student debt.

I would love for you to review the full report. Any thoughts?

Best,
Nate Matherson
