Electronic Announcement ID DL-22-04 Subject Interest Rates for Direct Loans First Disbursed Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 Direct Subsidized Loans,
Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2013 have fixed interest rates that are determined in accordance with formulas specified in sections 455(b)(8)(A) through (C) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The interest rate is determined annually for all loans first disbursed during any 12-month period beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30, and is equal to the high yield of the 10-year Treasury notes auctioned at the final
auction held before June 1 of that 12-month period, plus a statutory add-on percentage that varies depending on the loan type and, for Direct Unsubsidized Loans, whether the loan was made to an undergraduate or graduate student. Loans first disbursed during different 12-month periods may have different interest rates, but the rate determined for any loan is a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. For each loan type, the calculated interest rate may not exceed a maximum rate
specified in the HEA. The maximum interest rates are 8.25% for Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans made to undergraduate students, 9.50% for Direct Unsubsidized Loans made to graduate and professional students, and 10.50% for Direct PLUS Loans made to parents of dependent undergraduate students or to graduate or professional students. On May 11, 2022, the Treasury Department held a 10-year Treasury note auction that resulted in a high yield of 2.943%. The chart

Last Modified: 06/27/2022 After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you will begin a one-time six month grace period before repayment begins. Interest does not accrue on Direct Subsidized Loans disbursed after July 1, 2014 during the grace period. Your federal loan servicer will notify you of the date your loan repayment begins and will provide further details about making payments. If you have a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, you have the option to pay interest while you are in school, or you can wait until you are no longer enrolled. Our office recommends that you pay the interest to minimize your loan debt. If you do not pay the interest, it will capitalize and be added to your total repayment amount. The example below illustrates the benefits of paying the interest while you are in school.

With a federal unsubsidized loan, you are responsible for the interest from the moment the loan money is disbursed into your account. There's no help on the interest; you're responsible for the whole amount.
