Student Loan Consolidation Rates

I am looking into student loans to expedite and begin graduate school earlier. With personal cash, there would be much delay because I would have to save up.
I am not a big fan of the FAFSA way. Do you know of any other, low interest student loans/grants programs? Thank you!

I had a federal stafford (subsidized?) and a stafford (unsubsidized?) loan, I believe they were called. I didn’t have to pay anything until I finished college.
Now the 2 loans are combined into 1 Wells Fargo loan, and the current interest rate is about 8%.
Since interest rates have fallen quite a bit since I started repaying the loan ~4 years ago, am I able to get my rate lowered?

These crooks known as Sallie Mae have screwed me. Two years ago I started receiving my student loans, and the interest rate at the time was only 2%. I even have a sheet of paper stating that.

My total in loans was $42,000.

I get my statement in the mail last week and suddenly I owe them $57,000 and they jacked up my interest rate to nearly 18%. I nearly cried. I called Sallie Mae right away stating, I cannot pay $688.00 a month it is just ludicrous.

I only have a couple more weeks to find a cheap, but very respectable loan consolidation company. My sister uses Nelnet, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

For all of you college graduates what is a cheap, but VERY respectable and honest Student Loan Consolidation company?

You can email me with details if you’d like.

Thank You.

I have around $30K in private student loans that I had my brother co-sign with me on. I am paying Prime + 0% which is really nice, but I wanted to consolidate and use the LIBOR rate(which is lower then prime, I would save over 2K in 10 yrs by dropping just 1% point). I have what I think is a very good credit score (~760) and wanted to get the best rate and try to avoid asking my brother to co-sign again. Is my score high enough to go in alone without and co-signer and get the best rate? Thanks in advance.

Student loan interest rates are apparently based on the 91 day t-bill for the end of may, does anyone know if this is going to make the rates go up on July 1, 2007? or will the decrease? I have been out of school for about 6 months and have been waiting to see if I could get a lower interest rate after july

I am having difficulty on deciding on which privet bank i should go with to borrow a student loan.

Any ideas?

thanks

I’ve just started graduate school and I have the option of deferring my undergraduate student loans. I’m not sure I can afford the monthly payments, but I’d still like to periodically put some money down on the loan.

So my question is, can I make payments on the principal of the loan, and not just the interest, while it is in deferment?

Refinancing student loans right after graduation is an important step to getting a better interest rate, and consolidation can usually only be done once.

What is the variable student loan interest rate forecast for the foreseeable future during a depression WITH high inflation?

Currently it is 1%-3%
Hyperinflation could set at the rate the government is printing money.

We are in a depression. It will not end in 2010. It may be the beginning of the end. Trillions in debt will not go away overnight.
