You Need at Least $8,000

  • The first eligibility requirement is that you have enough student loan debt to consolidate.

    By combining at least $10,000 in eligible federal education loans, you meet the minimum threshold for consolidation with our consolidating partners.

You Must be in Grace or Repayment

  • On the date of school separation or graduation,
    your federal education loans will enter into a grace period of six months where no payment will be required.

    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 who are still attending school do not qualify.

    You should note the advantages of consolidating your student loans during your grace period.
