Student Loan Interest Rates to Adjust on July 1: Save with Nelnet's Best Rate Guarantee

Lincoln, NE (Vocus) May 17, 2007 -- If you're looking to consolidate your federal student loans, you can't afford to miss Nelnet's guarantee to get you the best interest rate available. When Nelnet, a leading education planning and financing company, receives your completed student loan consolidation application before July 1, 2007, you will receive the lowest statutory interest rate available based on your existing loans through Nelnet's Best Rate Guarantee.



"Eliminate the uncertainty of a possible interest rate hike on July 1," said Tim Bornemeier, Managing Director of Nelnet Customer Solutions. "With the Best Rate Guarantee, Nelnet will hold your consolidation application until it is known what the lowest rate will be and then consolidate your loans at that time to secure the lowest rate available to you."

If interest rates increase on July 1, 2007, Nelnet will consolidate your loans as soon possible after the date the interest rate change is announced and your completed consolidation application has been received. If interest rates decrease on July 1, 2007, Nelnet will hold your completed consolidation loan application and consolidate your loans after July 1, 2007.

Student loan consolidation combines multiple federal student loans, such as Stafford and PLUS loans, into one loan with one low monthly payment. The fixed interest rate for a federal student loan consolidation is determined by taking the weighted average of the interest rates of the original student loans, rounded up to the nearest 1/8 percent.

"The Best Rate Guarantee is a win-win program for all graduates choosing to consolidate their federal student loans," added Bornemeier.    

In addition to the best rate, Nelnet offers valuable benefits to borrowers, including a 1 percent interest rate reduction after 36 initial, regular, on-time payments and an additional .25 percent interest rate reduction for auto-debit payments. Together, these benefits reduce borrowers' interest rates by another 1.25 percent, potentially saving thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan.
