Private Student Loan Interest Rates
Understanding what determines interest rates for private student loans can help you make an informed borrowing decision. Learn more about what determines interest rates.
Compare Federal and Private Student Loans
Discover Student Loans believes in responsible borrowing and encourages students to maximize scholarships, grants and other free financial aid before taking private loans. For students who need to borrow, we advise them to compare federal and private student loans to find the loans that best fit their needs.
The fixed interest rate is set at the time of application and does not change during the life of the loan. The variable interest rate is calculated based on the 3-Month LIBOR index plus the applicable margin percentage. For variable interest rate loans, the 3-Month LIBOR is X as of X. Discover Student Loans may adjust the rate quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (the “interest rate change date”), based on the 3-Month LIBOR Index, published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal 15 days prior to the interest rate change date, rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent (0.125% or 0.00125). This may cause the monthly payments to increase, the number of payments to increase or both. Our lowest APR is only available to customers with the best credit and other factors. Your APR will be determined after you apply. It will be based on your credit history, which repayment option you choose and other factors, including your cosigner’s credit history (if applicable). Learn more about Discover Student Loans interest rates.
Students who get at least a 3.0 GPA (or equivalent) may qualify for a one-time cash reward on each new Discover undergraduate and graduate student loan. Plus, undergraduate freshman borrowers who received at least a 3.0 GPA (or equivalent) during high school may qualify for an additional cash reward on their first undergraduate student loan. Limitations apply. See Terms and Conditions for complete details.
