A team of University of Michigan students received a $5,000 grant to research the student debt problem and develop a solution. They interviewed over 100 students to understand factors influencing their college and major choices, as well as their financial situations. Based on this research, the team created a web application called "Dough" to improve student loan literacy. Dough provides personalized information and tools to help students understand how their borrowing decisions impact long-term financial burden and credit. The goal is to reduce student debt and default rates.
