In a matter of hours, on July 1, interest rates on most federally guaranteed student loans will jump by nearly 2 full percentage points. To avoid the rate increase, borrowers must submit their Federal Consolidation Loan application by midnight on Friday, June 30, 2006.
To respond to last-minute requests from borrowers seeking to lock in today’s interest rates through student loan consolidation, Sallie Mae will divert all available customer service personnel to focus on helping individuals with consolidation-related issues.
“By redirecting all available resources in the final hours of this unusual interest rate environment, we will help our borrowers receive the best possible service and the lowest possible rate when they consolidate their loans,” said Keith D’Ambra, senior vice president of loan consolidation, Sallie Mae.
