As we've explained, if Congress doesn't act by July 1, interest rates will double on federal student loans. The Senate today rejected both a Democratic bill and a Republican bill, which is what happens when you combine the filbuster rule with strict party-line voting and a Senate in which neither party has 60 members. This AP story describes the situation:
Both [the Democratic and Republican] measures rejected Thursday would delay the interest rate increase for a year at a cost of $6 billion, but each side's bill was paid for in a way the other couldn't tolerate. Democrats proposed raising Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes on high-earning owners of some privately held companies and professional practices, while Republicans would abolish an Obama preventive health program.

Student loan allows you to bundle multiple pupil education financial loans into one single consolidated mortgage with one transaction per month. Education relief may allow you to extend your repayment term and give you a lower transaction per month than what you were paying each month on all your individual pupil education financial loans separately.
