| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to scrutinize, assess, and evaluate the default risk of borrowers on their loans at the UP Student Loan Board. In particular, this has been designed to inquire on the nature and dynamics of the Student Loan Fund, to find out the characteristics of borrowers who will most likely default from their loans, and to elicit recommendations on how to improve the loan scheme. The researchers largely obtained their data from the UP Student Loan Board Office. To make the study sample more manageable, the researchers delved on the loans made on the first semester of AY 2001-2002 concentrating on two types of loans- the Tuition Fee Loan and the Short-Term Cash Loan. The researchers run a regression to determine the relationship of default on loans with some other identified variables reflected in the application forms of the borrowers. It has been noted that several reasons, aside from the lack of money, can influence default. Factors such as the absence of collateral, the presence of the guarantor, and the lax enforcement of contracts were considered to affect the inability of the students to settle their obligations. Moreover, the personal characteristics of the borrowers can also affect the non-payment of loan. Default was then analyzed as a- function of sex, residence, college, course, year, basis of payment, purpose of loan, guarantor, and amount of outstanding Joan and the amount of loan. With the regression, the researchers determined Non-Majors, First Year Undergraduates, and those who obtained lesser amount of loans to be the most likely to default from their TFL. While those who are from Metro Manila and those who availed loans for non-school purposes are the most likely to default from their STL. Recommendations have been put forward to improve the loan scheme. | |
