Student Loan Transparency: Mandatory Disclosure of Total Lifetime Interest Costs.

This legislation increases transparency for federal student loans. It requires lenders to disclose the total amount of interest a borrower would pay over the life of the loan, based on a standard 10-year repayment plan, before the loan is finalized. This change helps citizens fully understand the long-term financial commitment of their educational debt.
