The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TG) offers critical support to schools, students, and borrowers at every stage of the federal student aid process--from providing information on how to pay for a higher education, including financial aid options, to facilitating successful loan repayment after graduation. As part of that support, this report presents TG's latest issue of "State of Student Aid and Higher Education in Texas." This publication offers Texas policymakers, their staff members, and members of the student financial aid community an overview of key facts that describe student financial aid in Texas. The report is divided into the following sections: (1) Texas Demographics; (2) Texas College Readiness; (3) Profile of Texas College Students; (4) Cost of Education and Sources of Aid in Texas; (5) Grant Aid and Net Price in Texas; (6) Loans; (7) Need and Work; (8) Texas College Attainment; (9) Delinquencies, Defaults, and Collections; and (10) Texas Higher Education & Student Debt Policy.
