School Loan Consolidation

The Higher Education Act (HEA) provides for a School Loan Consolidation Program  through either the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Programs or the Direct Loan Program. These Federal School Loan Consolidation  programs allow your Government Student Loans  to be paid off and a new student consolidation loan  is created.

These programs simplify your student loan repayment  by combining several types of Federal student loans  into one loan. These combined loans may have been made by different lenders and may have different terms and payment schedules. The new college loan interest rate  may be lower than one or more of the original loans. In addition, the monthly payment amount on a school consolidation loan  is usually lower and the amount required for paying back your student loan  may be extended beyond what was available in the separate loan programs. These features should result in more manageable student debt  and should make you less prone to default.

The consolidation of school loans may be your best option for getting a handle on your student loan debt.  We suggest that you look at many options before you make a final decision.  Remember to take into account the interest rates, the terms for paying back your student loan and any student loan rebates.

Make your college education any enjoyable time. Plan ahead, research your financial options, watch your spending and don't get so deep in debt that you will regret the decisions that you have made.  Spend some time visiting the different websites so that you can make better informed and smarter decisions.
