Auditor General Eugene DePasquale released a special report calling for more help for Pennsylvania students struggling to pay for college. The report also follows up on a 2008 performance audit of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, the state's student loan agency.
"Pennsylvania is one of the top states for total student borrowing and the average student loan debt in our state is now more than $37,000," DePasquale said. "Pennsylvania must do more to help students and parents afford college, as well as understand the implications of borrowing for higher education."
