Bush Signs New Student Bill, Federal Loans Cut!?
Ok, I was just reading an article on Time magazine about Bush signing a new student aid bill.

“It also cuts in half the interest rates on federally backed student loans — from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent — over the next four years.”
I am a second year grad student on a four year program, and my stafford loans are currently on 6.8%… can I take advantage of this bill? if so, will it be through consolidation when I finish school? or is this in effect before I finish school?
Many thanks!

I have 5 total federal loans from my college days. They vary in interest rates from around 2.8 to 6.8%.
