Federal Student Loan Consolidation Payment Relief

One of the key benefits of consolidating your federal school loans is payment relief. By combining all of your student loans into one consolidated loan, you can lengthen your repayment term from the standard 10 years to up to 30 years, depending on the amount of your education debts. With a lower monthly payment, you'll have more money available to meet other living expenses, including car payments, housing expenses, and career-related necessities. Because there are no penalties for overpayment, you can make larger payments and reduce your repayment term when it becomes affordable.

Managing Existing Student Loan Debt Obligations:

  1. If you're having trouble meeting your student loan payments, contact your loan servicer. You may qualify for a deferment, forbearance, or repayment alternative that is more affordable.
  2. Consolidation can help by extending your loan's repayment term beyond the standard ten years. While this will increase the total interest charges, the monthly payments will become more manageable.
  3. Watch your expenses! Just as you need to be cautious when you're in school, you need to be aware of your expenses after you leave school.
  4. Limit credit card usage to absolute necessities. Remember you'll pay more for every charged item because of the credit card's finance charges.
  5. If you must have student credit cards, shop around for low interest rates or call existing credit card providers and ask them for a lower rate.
  6. If you are delinquent or in default, visit our Student Loan Default Assistance page for more help.

About University of Phoenix

At University of Phoenix, we've been thinking ahead for more than 30 years. In fact, we were founded in 1976 on an innovative idea: make higher education highly accessible for working students.

Accessible Education

Still guided by this idea, University of Phoenix has helped transform the landscape of higher education in widely recognized ways.

Many of the conveniences that 21st-century students now take for granted—evening classes, flexible scheduling, continuous enrollment, a student-centered environment, practitioner faculty, online classes, online library, ebooks, computer simulations—were pioneered or made acceptable through University of Phoenix's efforts.

An Innovative Approach

Not surprisingly, our unique approach has helped us grow from our humble origins as an upstart institution serving the unrecognized needs of working students. Today, University of Phoenix is the largest private university in North America, with nearly 200 convenient locations, as well as Internet delivery in most countries around the world.

We're also a comprehensive university. University of Phoenix has more than 100 degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels in much-desired employment areas, from business and technology to health care and education.

School Loan For consolidation

09.33 / Diposting oleh metallic sucker and moslem militan / komentar (0)

Congress established the Federal Consolidation Loan program as part of the Higher Education Act to help make the repayment of student loan debt easier for student borrowers. A Federal Consolidation Loan allows you to combine all of your eligible Federal Education loans into one loan with a low, fixed interest rate and a flexible repayment plan. There are no fees or credit checks as part of this program.

Depending on the total amount of student loans that you have you can choose one of several repayment plans with loan repayment periods up to 360 months. The interest rate on your Federal Consolidation Loan will be the weighted average of the current interest rates on your eligible student loans being consolidated rounded up to the nearest 1/8%, or 8.25%, whichever is less. The interest rates on most student loans are based on the Treasury Bill and are adjusted each year on July 1st. This means that currently you have the opportunity to lock in rates before they rise and lower them an additional 1.25% through new incentive programs.

Information about loan consolidation student loans

09.04 / Diposting oleh metallic sucker and moslem militan / komentar (0)

The Higher Education Act (HEA) provides for a loan consolidation program under both the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Programs and the Direct Loan Program. Under these programs, a borrower’s loans are paid off and a new consolidation loan is created. These programs simplify loan repayment by combining several types of Federal education loans (that may have different terms and repayment schedules or may have been made by different lenders) into one new loan. The interest rate may be lower than on one or more of the underlying loans. In addition, the monthly payment amount on a consolidation loan is usually lower and the amount of time to repay may be extended beyond what was available in the separate loan programs. These features should result in more manageable debt and should make borrowers less prone to default.

Here are some factors you should consider
when deciding if consolidation is right for you.

Are your monthly payments manageable? If you have trouble meeting your monthly payments, have exhausted your deferment and forbearance options, and/or want to avoid default, a Direct Consolidation Loan may help you. Use our online calculator to find out what your monthly payments would be under each of our repayment plans.

Too many monthly payments driving you crazy? If you send payments to more than one lender every month, and want the convenience of a single monthly payment, consolidation may be right for you. With a Direct Consolidation Loan, you will have a single lender - the U.S. Department of Education - and a single monthly payment.

What are the interest rates on your loans? If you have variable interest rates on your Federal education loans, you may want to consolidate. The interest rate for a Direct Consolidation Loan is fixed for the life of the Direct Consolidation Loan. The rate is based on the weighted average interest rate of the loans being consolidated, rounded to the next nearest higher one-eighth of one percent and can not exceed 8.25 percent. Use our online calculator to find out what your weighted average interest rate would be if you consolidate with us.

How much are you willing to pay over the long term? Like a home mortgage or a car loan, extending the years of repayment increases the total amount you have to repay.

How many payments do you have left on your loans? If you are close to paying off your student loans, it may not be worth the effort to consolidate or extend your payments.
