Federal student loan rates for 2026–27 are set. New loans disbursed between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027, will have higher fixed rates than last year, which can add thousands to the cost of a degree over time.

In our latest guide, we break down the new federal rates, how they’re set, and what to consider if you still need to borrow.

If you’re planning to take out a student loan, here’s the reality:

👉 The rate you see today isn’t guaranteed

Rates have already moved by as much as 0.50% this past year and that can mean $800 to $1,300+ more on the same loan.

The difference? Timing.

Lock in your rate before it moves - https://www.studentchoice.org/private-student-loans/
