Interest rates hit 35-year low
Tuition may be going up, but the amount of money students pay to borrow for school is going down.
Brenda Maigaard, interim director of Student Financial Aid, said interest rates for student loans are the lowest they have been in 35 years.
And they may be going lower.
Students who have taken out federal direct student loans in the last three years owe only 5.39 percent interest this year. That rate will apply through June 30 of this year.
On July 1, the Department of Education will recalculate the interest rate based on the yield of the 3-month Treasury bill. If it holds steady, the new rate
will be 3.42 percent for the following twelve months.
Interest rates on the loans are recalculated once each year on July 1. The interest rate increases by 0.6 percentage points when a student graduates, but the rate is capped at 8.25 percent.
Students who want to apply for student loans need to pick up a Free Application For Student Aid (FAFSA) at the Office of Financial Aid, 50 Strong Hall, and submit it. Students can also apply online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. The priority deadline for Free Application For Student Aid is March 1.

Former chancellor visits campus today
Former University of Kansas chancellor Gene Budig will be on campus today to sign copies of his new book and give a lecture about leadership in higher education.
Budig will sign copies of his new book, A Game of Uncommon Skill: Leading the Modern College and University, from 2 to 3 p.m. today at the fourth-floor lobby in the Kansas Union.
The lecture, at 4 p.m. at room 150 in Joseph R. Pearson Hall, will be followed by a reception in the hall's common area.
According to University Relations, while Budig was chancellor from 1981 to 1994, he helped KU through Campaign Kansas, a fund drive that brought in $265.3 million in gifts and commitments.
Budig Halli is named after the former chancellor, who led the effort to rebuild Hoch Auditoria after a fire.
He became president of major league baseball's American League in 1994 and currently teaches in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

Mike Neal, assistant dean
of education, said Budig was
a good example of what
leadership could help people
achieve.
