IMPORTANT NOTICE: By refinancing federal student loans, you may lose certain borrower benefits from your original loans. These may include interest rate discounts, principal rebates, or some cancellation benefits that can significantly reduce the cost of repaying your loans.
Due to events related to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Federal government has announced several measures to assist borrowers during the ongoing crisis, such as temporarily waiving federal student loan interest. Accordingly, we highly recommend that you carefully consider all of your options before refinancing your federal student loans. While all details are not yet known, it’s possible that additional proposals by Congress may impact those with federal student loan debt. Please remember that when you refinance federal student loans into a private student loan, you waive any current and potential future federal student loan benefits. Make sure to explore all available resources, including information on the Department of Education’s website at www.studentaid.gov/coronavirus to understand how these proposals may impact you, so that you can determine if losing current and potential Federal student loan benefits outweigh the benefits of refinancing your loans.
