  4. Composition of Cohort Default Rate

  5. LSDA School Sample A word about the data you will see on the following slide:To derive the “dollars in default” figures you will see on the following slides, the loans that entered into repayment during the FY04 period (between 10/1/03 and 9/30/04) and met the criteria for being included in the Cohort Default Rate were identified. The "Outstanding Principal Balance" was totaled to get the total dollars in repayment.  And, for those loans with a default claim, the "Outstanding Principal Balance“ was totaled to get the dollars in default. The dollars-in default included in this presentation are based on the "Outstanding Principal Balance“ at the time the FY04 Cohort Default Rate was calculated, July 29, 2006.
