profit making schools of higher education The latter years of the 20th century saw a large increase in the number of proprietary, profit making colleges and other institutions of higher education. These were able to utilize the Federal student loan programs. However, many were fraudulent rip-offs. Most were unaccredited. The average proprietary school obtained more federal student loan money per student than non-profit schools {639817}, and did not train their students as well. A smaller percentage of their students get their degrees and find jobs. When they do obtain employment they make less money. Congressional pressure, induced by heavy lobbying, stopped Department of Education efforts to make schools with poor graduation or employment rates ineligible for use of Student Loan Programs.
