- Federal student loan borrowers face a September 30 deadline for an autopay discount, with the FAFSA 2027-28 application period now open, per WTHR.
- Student loan borrowers can secure a 1% interest rate cut but must act by Wednesday, according to Forbes.
Why it matters: Borrowers who miss these narrow windows lose the associated savings — the autopay discount expires Sept. 30 and the 1% rate reduction closes by Wednesday, leaving only days for borrowers to act on either opportunity.
