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.
Student loan default rate

Of 71 borrowers who entered repayment, 8 (11.2%) defaulted within three years — above the 2.3% national rate.
Default rate vs national, by cohort
