## Resource

Student loan relief just got a major boost: starting July 1, the Trump administration is slashing interest rates by 1 percentage point for anyone who enrolls in autopay — a huge jump from the current 0.25% discount. The offer lasts until June 30, 2028, but you’ve got until September 30 to sign up. With only 40% of borrowers currently on autopay — down from 80% pre-pandemic — this could help millions. It’s a timely perk as broader student loan reforms this summer trim existing repayment options, making this discount even more valuable for those struggling with over $1.6 trillion in federal debt.
