    As students are increasingly pressured to find new ways of funding their education, many turn to student loan programs for assistance, and, as a result, are faced with a post-graduation debt load.

It also examines the effect of high debt on these graduates. (Adapted from an article in Canadian Social Trends published in Winter 1998.)
