Borrowers with existing federal student loans can lower their interest rate by one percentage point if they change repayment plans before the deadline on Wednesday. The discount stems from recent adjustments to federal loan policy, which critics link to the administration's broader effort to scale back student‑loan aid, as noted in a Truthout piece referencing President Trump’s dismantling of such aid.
Business Insider, 10TV and FOX 9 focus on the impending deadline and the mechanics of the switch, while Forbes provides a step‑by‑step guide. Coverage does not specify how many borrowers are eligible, the exact deadline date, or the longer‑term impact of the rate cut.
