Congress
established the Federal Consolidation Loan program as part of the
Higher Education Act to help make the repayment of student loan debt
easier for student borrowers. A Federal Consolidation Loan allows you
to combine all of your eligible Federal Education loans into one loan
with a low, fixed interest rate and a flexible repayment plan. There
are no fees or credit checks as part of this program. Depending on the
total amount of student loans that you have you can choose one of
several repayment plans with loan repayment periods up to 360 months.
The interest rate on your Federal Consolidation Loan will be the
weighted average of the current interest rates on your eligible student
loans being consolidated rounded up to the nearest 1/8%, or 8.25%,
whichever is less. The interest rates on most student loans are based
on the Treasury Bill and are adjusted each year on July 1st. This means
that currently you have the opportunity to lock in rates before they
rise and lower them an additional 1.25% through new incentive programs.

rate reduction for consolidating after graduation; .25 percent rate
reduction when students use Auto Debit, and a 1 percent reduction when
student borrowers make 36 consecutive on-time payments, or 2 percent
reduction after 48 consecutive on-time payments. Your interest rate may
be higher or lower based on your existing loans as the interest rate
for a consolidation loan is the weighted average of the interest rates
of the loans being consolidated, rounded up to the nearest one-eight of
one percent. |
