Student Loan Refinancing

It seems as though everyone—homeownerscorporations, and even state and local governments—is taking advantage of the current historically low interest rates by refinancing their debt.

It’s a win for individuals and for the nation as a whole, easing the burden of loan repayment and freeing up income for purchases that stimulate the economy. But one group is getting left behind in the refinancing trend: students who take out loans to pay for their higher education. And with over $1.2 trillion dollars in current student debt, something needs to change.
