FFELP category is primarily Stafford loans and also includes federally insured PLUS and HEAL loans.
Student Loan Spread
An important performance measure closely monitored by management is the student loan spread. The
student loan spread is the difference between the income earned on the student loan assets and the interest
paid on the debt funding those assets. A number of factors can affect the overall student loan spread such as:
the mix of student loans in the portfolio, with FFELP Consolidation Loans having the lowest spread
and Private Education Loans having the highest spread;
the premiums paid, borrower fees charged and capitalized costs incurred to acquire student loans which
impact the spread through subsequent amortization;
the type and level of Borrower Benefits programs;
