Benefits of Student Loan Consolidation

PDF Print E-mail
If you have multiple school loans and want to just make one easy loan payment with a fixed interest rate, you should consider consolidating your student loans with the U.S. Dept. of Education, also known as a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan.

Some of the benefits of consolidating student loans include:


  • One loan, one monthly payment.

  • Secure a lower and fixed interest rate.

  • Save money on interest.

  • Lower monthly payments allow you to be more flexible with your finances.

  • Resets the time frame on deferment and forbearance because it is a new loan.

  • May help improve your credit score since there are fewer creditors on the credit history.

  • The borrower has flexible repayment options.
