Table 19.
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program loan volume commitments for Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans, by guaranty agency: FY 1997-FY 2000

This table shows an accounting of PLUS loan volume commitments for each guaranty agency for FY 1997-FY 2000. The number of loans, dollar amount, percent change from prior year, percent share of total PLUS loans guaranteed, and rankings of all guaranty agencies are tabulated for each agency. The PLUS loan program was initiated in FY 1981. (Summary information for this table is discussed in table 5).

PLUS loan volume commitments grew nearly 10 percent each year between FY 1997 and FY 2000. Overall, PLUS loan volume increased by 31.5 percent from $1.9 billion in FY 1997 to $2.6 billion in FY 2000.

USAF, the guaranty agency with the largest volume of loan commitments, guaranteed a decreasing proportion of the total PLUS loan commitments from FY 1997 to FY 2000. USAF committed 35.2 percent of total PLUS loan commitments in FY 1997 and 31.7 percent in FY 2000.

Pennsylvania had the second largest PLUS loan commitments between FY 1998 and FY 2000 guaranteeing approximately 10 percent of this volume each year.

The five guaranty agencies with the highest volume (USAF, Pennsylvania, New York, California, and Wisconsin) consistently guaranteed approximately two-thirds of the total PLUS loan volume each year between FY 1997 and FY 2000. From FY 1997 - FY 2000, the share these five agencies guaranteed of the total PLUS loan dollar volume was 67.1, 66.7, 65.2, and 66.3 percent, respectively.

Between FY 1997 and FY 2000, PLUS loan volume commitments decreased for 10 guaranty agencies and increased for 26 agencies. The four agencies where PLUS loan commitments increased over 100 percent during this time were California (118.6 percent), North Carolina (116.6 percent), and Kentucky (100.8 percent).
