Loan awards count each loan type a student holds, not unique borrowers; one student may carry several (e.g. subsidized and unsubsidized), so the per-type figures are the reliable detail.

Of 2,834 borrowers who entered repayment, 114 (4.0%) defaulted within three years — above the 2.3% national rate.
