Loan Consolidation FAQs
What is loan consolidation?
Consolidation allows students to combine different types of
federal student loans to simplify their payments. After consolidation,
the borrower will have a new repayment term, monthly payment,
and interest rate.
I have both subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Can
I consolidate them?
Yes. Consolidation loans can include both subsidized and unsubsidized
loans. The borrowers may retain interest subsidy benefits for
any subsidized Stafford loans that are combined with any unsubsidized
Stafford loans. If you have a Federal Perkins loan, however,
the borrower will lose the interest subsidy if they take part
in a new consolidation loan.
What happens if I consolidate my loans during my grace
period?
If you decide to consolidate your student loans during your
6-month grace period, you will lose any remaining portion of
it. When you consolidate, you are required to start making payments
within 60 days of the consolidation loan disbursement.
