Don't let them raise student loan interest rates!

credit score

Interest rates on common federally backed student loans are set to rise from 3.4% to 6.8% this summer if Congress doesn't pass a bill to retain the current cap.

Students and their parents are already paying more than ever before for a college education, and racking up unprecedented debt that they must pay back over decades. Doubling the interest rate adds thousands to the amounts students must repay. Sign our petition to demand quick action to retain the current interest rate cap!
