With less than 24 hours left for graduates to consolidate their federal student loans at the current lower interest rates, borrowers are turning to esignature as their last remaining option. On July 1, 2006, interest rates on federal student loans are scheduled to make a near-record setting 35% increase over the current loan rates. Graduates who qualify and apply for a student loan consolidation prior to July 1 will be able to lock in their interest rates, protecting them from the increase. However, graduates' and student loan borrowers application forms must be received before July 1 in order to be protected from the rate increase. (PRWeb Jun 29, 2006)
