Rates
Stafford loans disbursed on or after
7/1/06 have a fixed interest rate of 6.8%. Stafford loans
disbursed on or before 6/30/06 have a variable interest rate
determined by the 91-day T-bill rate and adjusted every July
1st. The interest rate on your new Consolidation loan will
be the weighted average interest rate of all loans being consolidated,
rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of 1%. The interest rate will
not exceed 8.25%.
In Grace
Consolidation
Grace is a period prior to repayment
where no payments are required. The interest rate on variable
rate Stafford loans is 0.6% lower during your 6-month grace
period than it is during repayment. If you consolidate during
your grace period, you can lock in your fixed interest rate
at a lower rate. However, doing so will cause you to lose
your grace period, and your loan will go into immediate repayment.
| In
Repayment Consolidation |
| By consolidating while in repayment
you can lock in at a low fixed interest rate. Your new
Consolidation loan will have a repayment term of up to
30 years, depending on the amount being consolidated.

Terms
A federal Consolidation loan can reduce
your monthly payment by extending your repayment term up to
30 years. However, doing so may increase the total amount
of interest you will pay over the life of your loan.
