becoming eligible for student loan consolidation

Let's Start with $10,000
The first eligibility requirement is that you have enough student loan debt to consolidate.

The minimum amount is $10,000 in total student loan debt.


You Must be in Grace or Repayment
On the date of school separation or graduation, your loans will enter into a grace period of six months where you won't need to make any payments.

At the end of six months, your loans enter into the repayment phase. This is when your monthly payments begin.

Your loans must be in either the grace or repayment periods to become eligible for consolidation. Students attending full-time do not qualify.
You should note the advantages of consolidating your loans during your grace period.
