Student Loan Consolidation
Consolidating student loans for easy repayment
Using consolidation you can take multiple outstanding loans and refinance them into one single loan. This resulting loan is used to pay off the pending loans and has different terms. The repayment terms can extend as long as 30 years, reducing monthly payments by almost 50% as compared to what you were paying before. However, longer terms means that your borrowing costs go up significantly. Consolidated loans that result from this process may be tax deductible.
Loan providers
Student financial aid offices are the best places to start when considering loan consolidation. They can help you analyze you needs based on income and the amount that you are trying to consolidate. Students typically have about 6 months of grace period after completion of their education to consider applying for a consolidation of loans.
Consolidation loans are available for almost all federal student loans and also for Health Professional Student Loans, FISL, Perkins, FFELP (Stafford, PLUS and SLS), NSL, HEAL, Direct loans and Guaranteed Student Loans.
Benefits
Loan consolidation can help clear up credit issues you have had with previous loans while providing the convenience of a single payment each month. Consolidated loans can also be at a lower rate if they are collateralized or the rates have reduced since the time of original funding.
