The rate on federal Stafford loans will rise to 6.8% in the near future. Even more significant, under the law just passed by Congress, the new interest rate will be fixed, not variable. This means that under the new law, borrowers will no longer benefit if rates decline in the future.
A December 23, 2005, article in USA Today about the rising rates began with the words: "If you"ve been thinking about consolidating your student loans to lock in a low rate, be aware: Time will soon run out.?
If you are a law school student or graduate and you have not yet consolidated your student loans, this latest rise in interest rates is critical news for you. Under the current soon-to-be-ended system of variable rates on Stafford loans, students and graduates who consolidate can lock in low interest rates and protect themselves against the near-future rate increases. When the higher, fixed interest rates take effect, the opportunity to save on loan repayments will be gone for good.
