What is the loan origination fee for federal loans?

An origination fee is a small percentage charged on your federal student loan to cover processing costs. This means the amount you receive may be less than the loan you accepted. For up-to-date information on federal loan origination fees, visit the Interest Rates and Fees for Federal Student Loans webpage.
