Student debt was specifically addressed in the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic through forbearance polices.

Sara Alpert; Rachel Zolensky; Shon Holman-Wheatley – Journal of Student Financial Aid, 2024
When the federal government banned incarcerated students from accessing Pell Grants in the mid-1990s, a new model for supporting Higher Education in Prison (HEP) programs emerged--utilizing Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) as third-party facilitators to fill the gaps left behind in the absence of federal financial aid.

Amanda Cook – Journal of Student Financial Aid, 2024

If this is true, students who live in areas where colleges are few and far between may face higher costs than those with ample college options. This study assesses the plausibility of this line of reasoning by examining the…
