Boise State Students Encouraged to Consolidate Loans by June 30

Boise State University’s Financial Aid Office strongly recommends that current students and recent graduates with subsidized or unsubsidized student loans consolidate those loans no later than June 30.

Existing loans have a variable interest rate that is expected to increase from the current rate of 4.7 percent to a new rate of 7.3 percent as of July 1. Students who consolidate their loans before June 30 will have a significantly lower fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. This opportunity will not be available after July 1.

Additional information is available on the Boise State Financial Aid Web site at:

For more information, contact financial aid counselors Dwight Berreth or Maureen Sigler at 426-1664.
