IU’s financial literacy efforts are also responsible for students receiving letters from the university twice a year updating them on how much they have borrowed and what their estimated monthly loan payments will be. As of the beginning of 2017, that effort alone has reduced student loan debt at Indiana University by almost $100 million.
