How much student debt does New York have? See how it ranks in 2026

How much student debt do New Yorkers have compared to other states in 2026? Student debt can become a huge financial burden for people across the country, and debt totals continue to rise every year. According to the Department of Education, outstanding student loan balances at the end of the second quarter of 2026 exceeded $1.72 trillion. That amount, WalletHub determined, would translate to over $40,000 per borrower across 42.6 million Americans. "College keeps getting progressively more expensive, and so does borrowing money to attend," WalletHub Analyst Chip Lupo said. "Federal student loan interest rates recently hit a 12-year high and remain elevated, making it important for borrowers to plan carefully when taking on student debt." The amount of student debt one takes on can vary from state to state, depending on factors like school tuition prices, scholarships and the types of loans. To determine which states loan borrowers have the most and least student debt, WalletHub compared all 50 states and the District of Columbia across 12 measures of student loan indebtedness and economic opportunity. Here's what to know about New York's ranking. Does New York State have a lot of student debt? New York ranked No. 33 out

NY education boss demands state fork over massive funding increase to replace Regents: ‘We can’t be starved’

The state’s education chief is pushing Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany pols to cough up an expected massive funding increase for school districts to comply with her controversial move to KO the Regents. The tin-cup pitch from Commish Betty Rosa could trigger a battle with Hochul, who has been critical of phasing out the state’s Regents exams , which New York high school students have been required to pass to graduate. “When we have an initiative like this, we can’t be starved,” Rosa said during a Board of Regents meeting this week , referring to her push to replace the exams with alternative graduation requirements — and the need to train teachers to achieve her demand. New York’s Education Department commissioner is asking Gov. Kathy Hochul to increase state funding. Matt Roberts/Shutterstock “This state has to make a huge investment if we’re going to modernize and transform education,” she said without specifying how much money she would request from Hochul and the state legislature. Her department declined to comment to The Post.

Hochul needs to bite back big time at NY schools chief Betty Rosa’s blackmail bid

State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa is trying to pull off a nasty bit of blackmail; Gov. Kathy Hochul can make her pay for it — and strike a blow for high-quality education at the same time. Rosa this week issued a public “poverty” plea, claiming the state’s multibillion-dollar school system can’t afford to implement her new, hopelessly watered-down standards for high school graduation without a fresh cash bath. It’s classic Albany extortion: Cry broke to milk taxpayers for more dough. Problem is, Hochul is already on record doubting the value of Rosa’s scheme, and even wishing for more power to stop it. Over 100 NYS school officials raked in $300K last year — and 174 made more than Hochul And Rosa (at least rhetorically) just handed her that power: The gov can now use the coming budget negotiations to explicitly defund the transition. The scheme is terrible : Gone is any need to pass the Regents exams that have been the hallmark of a top-notch New York education for over a century; in are meaningless “assessments” and “portfolios” that will make it easier than ever for cynical administrators to graduate kids with utterly worthless diplomas. Empire State taxpayers already cough
