Higher Ed Commission Joins Efforts To Reduce Student Debt - RACHEL MORELLO, Indiana Public Media

As student debt continues to climb across the country, state officials and institutions in Indiana are taking steps to help student figure out how to best manage their loans. As we’ve reported, the General Assembly passed a law during the 2015 “education session” to better inform college students about their debt load. House Enrolled Act 1042, authored by Rep. Casey Cox, R-Fort Wayne, requires public and private colleges and universities across the state to provide annual information to all students receiving loans, specifically those participating in the 21st Century Scholars program or receiving Frank O’Bannon scholarships – both state funded programs. http://indianapublicmedia.org/stateimpact/2015/07/23/higher-ed-commission-joins-fight-reduce-student-debt/
