The decision to forgive up to $10,000 in student debt will help roughly 3,645,200 Texans with loans, including nearly 17% of whom owe less than $5,000, according to data from the Education Data Initiative. Biden's action will especially provide relief to Texans of color, who owe a disproportionate amount of student debt per person compared to white students. According to a report last year by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, about 37% of students enrolled in Texas colleges or universities had student debt, and 58% of students in their fourth year of pursuing a bachelor’s degree had student debt during the 2019-20 academic year, with an average of $23,584 in debt.
