When the maximum Stafford loan went up, the percentage of undergraduates who borrowed through the program decreased at first, but as time passed, that percentage grew. That is one of the findings of a new research brief from the National Center for Education Statistics. The analysis focuses on issues related to the setting of maximum levels for borrowing under the Stafford program. Another parts of the study looked at the relationship between working full time and Stafford borrowing. A smaller percentage (26 percent) of those who worked full time when enrolled borrowed the maximum than did those who borrowed less than the maximum (33 percent) and those who did not borrow (37 percent).
