Your student loans are likely to be around for a while.
Fortunately, there are some small solutions that can add up to help save you
money and make your life a little easier.
1.
Set Up Automatic
Payments: Most student loan lenders give
interest rate reductions for automated repayment. Check with your loan servicer
to determine your loan eligibility. FedLoan Servicing currently gives a .25 percent reduction for auto debit on direct loans.
2.
Pay While in School: Always remember that unsubsidized loans will accrue
interest while in school. To keep your accrued interest to a minimum, direct
payment towards these loans while in school to avoid inflation of these loan
amounts. The same is also true when your loans are in deferment.
3.
Prepayment: Take advantage of the fact that all education loans are
prepayment penalty free. Whether
private or federal loans, adding extra money to your monthly payment can help
dramatically reduce your student loan balance. Remember to specify with you
lender your intention to prepay, otherwise instead of the payment going to
principal it will be viewed as an early installment on the next payment due.
4.
Avoid Unnecessary Debt: Try to be frugal with how much loans you take out. Many
students receive refunds checks when they take out loans, remember that these
sums of money are not free and will have to be paid back. More is always less
with student loans.
5.
Rate Shop: Market rates are at historic lows, so it is likely that
your rates could be significantly higher than what you could get on the market
today. Check out Credible to see if you can lower your interest rate.
6.
Lender Specific Benefits: Most federal loans offer income-driven repayment plans
to help borrowers pay back their student debt. If you decide to refinance your
student loans, there are some great secondary benefits such as entrepreneurship
programs, career services, and philanthropic opportunities.
7.
Student Loan Interest
Tax: Depending on your financial
situation, you may be eligible to take advantage of the student loan interest
tax. $2,500 is the maximum deduction available if you meet the income
eligibility requirements.
8.
Repayment Forgiveness: Many careers offer repayment forgiveness programs on a
state and federal level to help support high need communities. Many professions
offer repayment programs such as teachers, nurses, lawyers, mbas, physicians
and dentists.
9.
Work Benefits Package: Be sure to check with your employer to see if loan
repayment is a part of your benefits package. This is also something to keep in
mind when searching and applying to companies for potential employment.
10.
Refinance Only High Interest
Loans: Some loans are not worth
refinancing, however that shouldn’t mean you shouldn’t consider refinancing. If
you have several loans with high interest, consider refinancing them to lower
your monthly payment and long-term repayment savings.
11.Low
Rates, Invest Over Prepay: If
you have existing low interest rate loans, consider investing over prepaying.
Forecast the amount you want to prepay on your loans and see the effect on your
loan balance. If you feel as though you can make a higher return in an
investment that may be worth considering.
12. Chat With an
Advisor: Consulting with your financial
advisor or the advising staff at your respective university is always a good
idea to make sure that you stay in good standing on your student loans.
