The commission may accept gifts, grants, bequests, devises, and loans for the purposes of this chapter. An obligation of the loan program for losses on student loans resulting from death, default, bankruptcy, or total or permanent disability of borrowers is not a debt of the state, but is payable solely from the fund.
