Default Tuition loans at new low

Federal Sallie Mae tuition loans have been lowered by up to 1.5% in some accounts.

I would recommend paying off higher credit cards and home loans before making payments that are more than the monthly minimum. Take advantage of the new rate and clear out that higher interest debt while you can.

how does that work then? I could go get a tuition loan and pay off a lot of my debts without even going to any college?

if you had variable loans between certain dates, you are automatically qualified for the lower rate.

if you go to school, get qualified for loans, then pay out of pocket i suppose you could do it.

if you get a loan for $5000, and school only cost $3000 the other $2000 is gravy. but it's still a loan.

I had all sorts of money. i had my mgib from the government. student aid, and i took out loans.
