Benefits of federal student loan consolidation

One of the key benefits of consolidating your federal loans is payment relief. Learn why this is best! By combining all of your student loans into one consolidated loan, you can lengthen your repayment term from the standard 10 years to up to 30 years, depending on the amount of your education debts. With a lower monthly payment, you'll have more money available to meet other living expenses, including car payments, housing expenses, and career-related necessities. Because there are no penalties for overpayment, you can make larger payments and reduce your repayment term when it becomes affordable. Additional benefits include:

  • Reduce your interest rate 0.6% by consolidating during your grace period
  • No credit checks, fees, or application charges
  • Reduce your interest rate by as much as an additional 1.25% through our benefits package
