*The Federal Consolidation loan interest rate is determined when the loan is originated. With the exception of any outstanding balance representing a HEAL loan, the Federal Consolidation loan interest rate is a fixed rate equal to the weighted average of the interest rates of the loans being consolidated rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of 1% but not exceeding 8.25%. The interest rate on the portion of a Federal Consolidation loan representing a HEAL loan is a variable rate that is adjusted annually on July 1. This rate is set at 3 percent over the bond-equivalent rate for the three-month Treasury bills auctioned during the three months ending June 30.
