[Deborah Englehardt]

Good afternoon FA!

We've updated all EY Loan Debt Letters to reflect the anticipated interest rate increase reported by NASFAA Today's New dated this morning. Please feel free to wait to for the Electronic Announcement if you'd like before using the updated template.
Student Loan Interest Rates for 2023-24 Award Year Set to Increase<http://nasfaa.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTA3MDYyOCZwPTEmdT0xMTY3MjIyMzAyJmxpPTEwMTk4MDIyMw/index.html>
Interest rates are determined each June 1 for the upcoming award year by adding a fixed percentage to the high yield of the 10-year Treasury note auctioned at the final auction prior to June 1. As a result of yesterday's auction<http://nasfaa.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTA3MDYyOCZwPTEmdT0xMTY3MjIyMzAyJmxpPTEwMTk4MDIyNA/index.html>, the interest rate for federal loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2023 are expected to increase from 4.99% to 5.49% for undergraduate Direct Loans, from 6.54% to 7.05% for graduate/professional Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and from 7.54% to 8.05% for Parent and Grad PLUS loans. The interest rate caps for these loans are 8.25%, 9.5 %, and 10.5% respectively.

IMPORTANT Go to your EY Run Control ID to confirm that the new interest rate displays on the EY letter option. If you see an old interest rate, you may need to jiggle your EY Run Control.

Please take the following steps to jiggle your EY Loan Debt Letter Run Control ID.

  1.  Navigate to Navigator > HighPoint > Message Center > Processes > Send Messages
