Recently signed federal Student Loan Legislation has
changed the format for applying for and granting federal
student loans. Details in the form of code of federal
regulations have not been even drafted at this time.
However the basic premise is that the middle man has
been removed from the student loan process. Eventually
all federal student loans will be administrated directly by
the federal government. The current administration has
taken many steps that are very controversial and there
are likely to be many legal challenges before the new
loan program grants its first loan. The recent banking
crisis has caused a lot of banks to default and thus no
longer offer student loan processing. In many cases the
federal government has end up owning the student
loans from these banks. Again all of which frequently
makes applying for and being approved for a federal
student loan a slow  and lengthy process.

Under the new legislation the U.S. Department of
Education will administer all
federal student loans. Given
the inability for the current administration to properly
manage any government program it is unlikely that
getting a student loan will be any easier. The size of the
new loans has not been determined at this time.
Hopefully the new regulations will increase the size of
the loan packages to allow most students to finance most
of their education without borrowing additional money
from other more expensive sources. There is a
possibility that the new legislation will increase the size
and number of student grants all of which will help
reduce the staggering cost of getting a university
degree. Current interest rates for federal loans may not
exceed 8.25 percent and it is hoped that new interest
rates will be significantly lower.


Many recent or impending graduates find that they are
going to have to make multiple loan payments for up to
20 years in order to pay off their student loans. Prior to
graduation it is wise to seek good
student loan
consolidation advice. Past federal student loans
programs allowed you to consolidate all your loans in to
single loan that will lower your total monthly payments
and make managing a single loan much easier. Under the
recently passed legislation future student loans would
be able to cover most if not all of your educational costs
if administered as proposed. Again given the track
record of the Obama administration it is unlikely that the
proposed legislation will be of much an improvement
over the current system. Doing your homework prior to
making any application for educational assistance will pay
dividends once you graduated and must begin making
loan payments
