Is the Government Just taxing Middle-class College Students?

<p>Remember, with all the hue and cry about the 3.4% undergrad interest rate increasing, that for many years now grad student Stafford loans are at 6.8%. Many of these students were Pell grant recipients in undergrad and now they are funding lower rates for undergrad.</p>

<p>If they do change the rates, will they offer that to grad students, perhaps a low rate for consolidation? Or will they allow people who borrowed in the wrong year to fund those who borrowed in better years?</p>
