- The COVID-19 pandemic and the financial hardship that it created has impacted the rise in student debt and the ability of borrowers to pay down their student loans.
- Debt repayment and financial hardships impacting one’s ability to take out student loans can have a lasting impact on college enrollment and the desire for folks to further their careers with advanced education, which can in turn have long-term impacts on the economy.
- The financial impact of the pandemic has been most pronounced in lower income and minority students with Black Americans having disproportionately felt the adverse economic impacts of the pandemic.
- College completion is a key driver in making sure students are able to begin repaying their educational debt.
