- Federal student loan borrowers face a Sept. 30 deadline to sign up for autopay and lock in an added interest rate discount, per WTHR's headline.
- The 2027-28 FAFSA application cycle has opened concurrently with the autopay enrollment deadline, according to WTHR.
Why it matters: Borrowers who miss the Sept. 30 cutoff forfeit a stated autopay interest discount on their federal student loans, and the same week opens the next FAFSA aid cycle — two federal-aid deadlines stacked for student borrowers to navigate at once.
