Article Body:
Student loan debt consolidation simplifies your financial management by combining multiple federal student loans into a single loan with one monthly payment. This consolidation often results in lower monthly payments compared to the standard 10-year repayment plan. You can secure this loan through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, which involves banks, credit unions, and other lenders, or through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, offered directly by the federal government.
Most federal education loans qualify for consolidation, such as subsidized and unsubsidized Direct and FFEL Stafford Loans, SLS, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Nursing Loans, and Health Education Assistance Loans. Unfortunately, private education loans are not eligible.
For information about eligible loans, reach out to the Direct Loan Origination Center's Consolidation Department if you're seeking a direct consolidation loan. Those interested in a FFEL consolidation loan should contact a participating lender.
You remain eligible for consolidation after graduation, leaving school, or dropping below half-time enrollment. Even current students can consolidate if they attend at least half time and have a Direct Loan or FFEL actively in-school. Specific eligibility requirements exist, especially for those delinquent or in default; your loan holder can provide further details.
If a single holder owns all your FFEL loans, you’re required to consolidate through them, unless suitable income-sensitive repayment options are unavailable. To qualify for a William D. Ford direct consolidation loan, you must include either a direct Stafford subsidized or unsubsidized loan or a FFEL Stafford subsidized or unsubsidized loan in your consolidation.
