NerdWallet recommends taking out a private student loan only after youâve exhausted your federal student loan options. Their rates range from around 2.77% to 12.99%, depending on the lender, term length, type of interest rate (variable or fixed), and the borrower or co-signerâs credit.
This is 0.8% higher than the 1.81% yield produced during the 10-year note auction this time in 2013, and since this yield is the yield upon which federal student loan interest rates are based, Wednesdayâs results mean that federal student loan interest rates will also rise by 0.8%.
