For the past two years, TG and the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) have collaborated on a series of groundbreaking reports examining the efficacy of student loan counseling. We are pleased to announce the release of our 5th report, Effective Counseling, Empowered Borrowers: An Evidence-Based Policy Agenda for Informed Student Loan Borrowing and Repayment<http://www.tgslc.org/pdf/Effective-Counseling-Empowered-Borrowers.pdf>.
