Every student’s financial aid package is different, but packages may include a combination of scholarship awards, savings, and student loans. When determining your scholarship award, we assume you will take out a loan. Last year, the average student graduated with loans of approximately $99,000. The average student loan debt for scholarship recipients was $94,000 and the average student loan debt for the neediest half of scholarship recipients was $75,000.
