You see, now that your schooling is almost complete, it is about time to begin repaying your student loan debt. If you are like many students and have multiple student loans, trying to remember when to make all of your payments and to which lenders can be stressful. Also, with interest accruing on all of your loans, chances are that you will be paying a lot more money than you had planned.

But when you consolidate your outstanding private student loans, the result is just one, easy-to-manage loan. With that loan you will only need to make one, low monthly payment to just one lender! Also, by consolidating your private loans with EdFed, you can actually lower your monthly payment by almost half, in addition to saving thousands of dollars over the life of your loan!

The Benefits of an EdFed Private Loan Consolidation

By consolidating your private loans with EdFed, you will be able to take advantage of their competitively-low, interest rates and fees.

They also offer several flexible repayment options that allow you to choose whether you want to make lower, interest-only payments or pay on both the interest and principal.

Your Payment Options include:
  • Equal Payments
    This is the standard option in which both the interest and principal will be paid equally over the life of the loan. Your monthly payment amounts will not change over the life of the loan.

  • Select 2/ Graduated Payments
    With this option, you will be allowed to make interest-only payments for the first two years of repayment. After 2 years, the payments will increase to include equal installments of both the interest and principal for the remaining term of the loan.

  • Select 5/Graduated Payments
    This option allows you to make interest-only payments for the first 2 years of repayment. During the third through fifth years of the loan, the payments will increase to include only a portion of the principal with the interest. Upon the sixth year, your payments will once again increase to include both the principal and interest equally throughout the remainder of the loan.
EdFed private loan consolidations have no prepayment penalties, so you may choose to repay the loan as early as you choose. EdFed also offers an extended 30 year repayment term, which will help you to keep your monthly payment as low as possible.
