Rates can change depending on decisions in Washington, but with these rates on student loans, be sure to start saving early for high education to see optimal results.
7.9%: Interest rate of loans for parents or graduate students
About 2/3 of bachelor's degree recipients borrow money for college, whether from the government or private lenders, according to a Department of Education survey of 2007-2008 graduates. But paying back those loans isn't always easy. While subsidized Stafford loans are available at a 3.4% interest rate, if not temporarily, unsubsidized loans are 6.8%. But that's just for undergraduate students. For parents and graduates students, loans now cost 7.9%. Rates can change depending on decisions in Washington, but with these rates on student loans, be sure to start saving early for high education to see optimal results.
