Recent Grads - Maximize Your Savings & Maintain
Your Grace Period
If you recently graduated and are still in your
grace period (i.e. you have not started repaying your loans), you
may be eligible to get an additional 0.60% interest rate reduction
for the life of your loans. Don't delay - this special rate
reduction could save you thousands of dollars. You can also request
to maintain your grace period while locking in the lowest rate.
What is a Consolidation Loan?
A Federal Consolidation Loan is part of the family of loans
available under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program as
authorized by the Federal government. The Federal Consolidation Loan
program was established by Congress to help student borrowers manage
the burden of Federal student loan debt.
With a Federal Consolidation Loan, you can combine all or some of
your outstanding education loans into a single new loan, even if
your loans are currently held by more than one lender and are of
different loan types. By consolidating your student loans you can
also choose a flexible repayment term and then fix today's low
interest rates for the life of your loan.
By consolidating your loans, you can reduce your interest rates
by up to 1.25%. Plus, there are additional savings of 0.60% if you
consolidate your loan within your Grace Period (i.e. the period
after you graduate and before you begin repaying your loans). When
you apply for consolidation, there are no fees or credit checks.
You can consolidate any of the following loans:
(note that combined loan amounts must equal $7,500
or more to consolidate)
- Federal Stafford Loans, unsubsidized and subsidized
[including Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL)]
- Direct Stafford Loans, unsubsidized and subsidized
