New eSignature Offers Last Minute Consolidation Options for Federal Student Borrowers

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 05:00:00 GMT

With less than 24 hours left for graduates to consolidate their federal student loans at the current lower interest rates, borrowers are turning to esignature as their last remaining option. On July 1, 2006, interest rates on federal student loans are scheduled to make a near-record setting 35% increase over the current loan rates. Graduates who qualify and apply for a student loan consolidation prior to July 1 will be able to lock in their interest rates, protecting them from the increase. However, graduates' and student loan borrowers application forms must be received before July 1 in order to be protected from the rate increase.

This month, approximately 4 million college students will leave campus for good, taking away diplomas, friendships, and an average of $23,000 in federal student loans.

2006 Heralds No Increase to Federal Aid, Prompting Alternative Student Loans

Tue, 20 Dec 2005 05:00:00 GMT

Despite long sessions in Congress debating the Higher Education Act Reauthorization, 2006 looms large with no significant changes in federal financial aid for students. Natural disasters and intense political debate delayed the Congressional re-authorization of the Higher Education Act, which means that students who were hoping for an increase in federal financial aid will have to wait until the next academic year for any changes by Congress. As a result, students, parents, and families who need financial aid to cover education expenses are increasingly turning to alternative student loans to bridge the gap between unchanging federal financial aid and increasing tuition bills.
