Federal Student Loan Consolidation is a practical repayment management option to bundle all of the federal student loans you received to finance your college education into one manageable loan. When your new loan is issued, the lender (us) pays off the outstanding balances of the loans you consolidated. In essence, you refinance your college education debt. We specialize in helping you Consolidate Federal Direct Loans! Loan consolidation isn't just for students, either. Parents can consolidate PLUS loans to save just as much money each month as their kids.
Refinancing can significantly reduce your monthly payment burden by stretching your repayment period from the standard 10 years to up to 30 years, depending on how much you owe. Request a free loan consolidation information packet now and you can lock in a low fixed interest rate!

Can't make a payment because you can't find a job, are going back to school, or some other reason, consider an additional deferment allowing you to put off payments for a specific period of time, after you finish consolidating. For those of you in special fields or working in low income areas, consider Student Loan Forgiveness & Cancellation. Worried about having multiple student loan payments after college? Federal student loan consolidation may be an option for you!
