Loan Forgiveness Student Loans:<\/strong> Borrowers of federal student loans had the lowest interest rates on their loans in history two years ago. Undergraduate borrowing rates will be roughly double what they were in 2020-21 this fall.<\/p>\n

For the 2022-23 academic year, interest rates on new undergraduate direct federal student loans will rise to 4.99 percent, up from 3.73 percent last year and 2.75 percent in 2020-21. Graduate direct loan interest rates will likewise climb to 6.54 percent, while parent and graduate PLUS loan interest rates will jump to 7.54 percent.<\/p>\n

Since the higher interest rates take effect on July 1, any new loans taken out prior to that date will be subject to the rates in force for the 2021-22 academic year.<\/p>\n

Borrowers who take on graduate direct and PLUS loans will see their borrowing costs rise even more. PLUS loans feature a 4.23 percent origination fee and no borrowing restrictions, in addition to higher interest rates.<\/p>\n

The average PLUS loan in 2019 was roughly $14,000, according to the Hechinger Report, a nonprofit focused on education issues. With a conventional 10-year term and a 7.54 percent interest rate next year, the loan amount will cost $19,977 over the life of the loan, including $5,977 in interest.<\/p>\n

The Treasury Department’s 10-year note auction in May determines interest rates for federal student loans. The 2.94 percent interest rate on the May 10-year notes is added to margins set by Congress, which vary between forms of federal student loans.<\/p>\n

The interest rate on undergraduate direct loans is increased by 2.05 percentage points; graduate student loans are increased by 3.6 percentage points, and PLUS loans are increased by 4.6 percentage points.<\/p>\n
