At Bolivar Technical College, 58.0% of incoming students take out a loan to help defray freshman year costs, averaging $4,326 a piece. This amount includes both private and federally-funded student loans.
The average federal loan is $3,718, which is 67.6% of the first-year borrowing cap of $5,500* for the typical first-year dependent student.
Unlike the data shown for freshmen, average undergraduate student loan amounts do not include private loans. In addition to unreported parent loans, this can increase the average amount borrowed significantly.
88.0% of all undergraduate students (including freshmen) at Bolivar Technical College utilize federal student loans to help pay for their college education, averaging $3,887 per year. This amount is 4.5% higher than the $3,718 amount borrowed by freshmen. The fact that returning students borrow more than freshmen could indicate that the school front-loads financial aid packages, offering more aid to new students while expecting returning students to take on larger loans to continue their education.
Borrowing the average amount will result in loans of $7,774 after two years and $15,548 after four.
These numbers are based on borrowing the same amount each year and do not include any loans where the parent is the borrower, even though Parent PLUS loans are frequently included in financial aid packages.

Declaring bankruptcy does not remove student loan debt owed to the Federal government. They can garnish part of your income if you do not pay back your loans.
