The Rising Cost of Student Loans

Click on the post for the breaking news in finance today that Marblehead is bringing a large securitization of student loans to market. In reviewing the fees they will get for this, there is a fee of about 12% upfront, plus another 3% and 1% later. Sounds attractive from a revenue perspective.

From a student perspective, the days when one could say that a student loan was probably the cheapest loan a person would ever get is .....over. Plan accordingly.
