VPM Daily Newscast Special Edition - Dreams Deferred Pt. 2

Over the past year, VPM News has been looking into a hidden type of debt affecting thousands of Virginia college students. It’s not federal student loans – which dominates most of the headlines. It’s money owed directly to institutions -- called direct-to-school debt.   In our series Dreams Deferred, we’re exploring how this debt is creating hardships for students - making it difficult for them to complete their degrees and advance their careers. Today we’re exploring state policies that create and perpetuate this problem.
