Federal student loan consolidation
Severe legislative cuts made by Congress made federal student loan consolidation uneconomical. This, combined with the credit market deterioration, has caused us to suspend participation in the federal consolidation loan program.
- The fixed interest rate for consolidation loans varied from borrower to borrower but is generally expected to range from 4.75% to 6.125%. Interest rates are based on the borrower's underlying loans' primary rates and do not include discounts for interest reduction benefits. Special rules apply to consolidation loans that include HEAL loans.
- Different interest rates apply to federal Stafford, PLUS, and consolidation loans issued before July 1, 1998.
