The issue of student debt on participation in higher education has been of great concern in many states. The research study report indicates that in 2010, about two-thirds of graduating college seniors left learning institutions with student loan debt (Drezner, 2013, p. 16). Many students and parents lack adequate knowledge to accurate estimate for higher education costs. The research indicates that the ever-increasing college costs have contributed to increasing the need for financial aid, which is critical for increasing college access and success (Institute for College Access & Success, 2008, p. 1 and Eckel, Johnson, Montmarquette & ROJAS, 2007, p. 233). There has been a significant increase in student loan debt but these rates remain uneven among varied groups of students. Voigt (2007, p. 97)
From the research questions, it was found that student loans is among the highest percentage of funding tuition fee for students in higher education. Although many students receive scholarships or fee bursaries and other loans from relatives, personal savings, and money from partners, many students rely on student loans. Moreover, the higher percentages of students fund their accommodations and living expenses through student loans and parents/ guardians or relative’s money to help. Therefore, many students feel guilty about the financial sacrifices their parents or relatives offer them. thus they feel under great pressure to work hard. The research indicated that many students studying in universities involve in part-time or full-time jobs but most of these jobs are unpaid. They perform unpaid jobs in order to acquire future work experience and others revealed that unpaid work leaves them with too little time for academic studies. Even though others receive payment, it is little and it cannot satisfy their financial needs.
