			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><br/><br/>When it comes to furthering your education, you must have student loans to do it. It is rather simple to get extra funding to cover your school costs when scholarships and grants do not add up to enough funding. There are student loans out there for you to apply for as well as private loans and loan consolidation if you need it.<br/><br/>Student loans are available through the federal government and they are the biggest source when it comes to education loans. The most popular federal loans are Federal Stafford loans, Federal Perkins Loans, and Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students or PLUS. The Federal Stafford Loans are available to both graduate and undergraduate students. The Federal Perkins Loans are given by colleges to those who need it the most and these loans require no payment of interest while the student is attending school. PLUS student loans are low interest and are available through the financial aid office of the school your student is attending or through the Sallie Mae foundation. This student loan covers all expenses, including room and board and books, which you as a parent were going to be financially responsible for. Two programs are responsible for federally funded loans. One is the Federal Family Education Loan Program in which the lender can be your school or bank. The other program is the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program where the lender is the U.S. Department of Education.<br/><br/>Private student loans are available to you when a scholarship, grant, or federal loan falls short of your tuition costs and other expenses like books or living. They are also called alternative loans. A private student loan is not sponsored by the government and therefore no federal papers will be needed to be signed by you. It is a loan that is offered through a bank or other financial institution. To obtain this type of student loan, credit is reviewed by each lender from you, your parent(s), and in some cases, a co-signer may be needed. The Sallie Mae program offers a private loan program for both graduates and undergraduates. Other private student loans include MEDLOANS and MBA LOANS. Loan consolidation is a great move when you have several loans to pay off. When you consolidate, your student loans with their various repayment schedules can be condensed down into one simple payment. An FFEL consolidation loan will give you a one-month payment option and they will contact credit bureaus and notify them that you have a zero balance. You must be in repayment of your defaulted loan with three on time payments to be able to obtain a FFEL student consolidation loan.<br/><br/>copyright 2005, 4th Media Corporation</div>

<div><br/>Today&#8217;s career minded students can get help with the burden of having several student loans. One can focus on their chosen career, instead of losing sleep over paying several monthly student loan payments. Student loan consolidation can be the solution with several advantages.<br/><br/>How Student Loan Consolidation Works<br/><br/>Here is typically how a student consolidation loan works. When a student first applied for several loans from several different agencies and student loan providers, they each gave a different interest rate and term for paying back the loans. The idea of student loan consolidation, is to take all the different student loans and put them into one easy convenient loan. You them only have to make one monthly loan payment every month, instead of several loan payments every month over time. This saves the student both time and money. Having a lower interest rate and less checks to write every month are a couple of advantages of doing a student loan consolidation.<br/><br/>5 Helpful Benefits of Student Loan Consolidation<br/><br/>1. Lower Monthly Payments. Depending on your student loan situation and the type of lender you choose, you may be able to lower your monthly payments by up to 50%<br/><br/>2. Having Simple Loan Payments. By consolidating your student loans, you only have one loan payment per month and one check to write. This is very beneficial if you are writing several checks every month to multiple lenders.<br/><br/>3. Having Fixed Interest Rates. With some federal consolidation loans you can have a fixed rate for the life of your student loan. It&#8217;s best to do research to see what the best interest rates and term you are eligible for. You can check online to calculate the interest rate on a new student consolidation loan based on the rates of your current student loans. You can then round up to the nearest 1/8th of a percent of the weighted average of the interest rates on your eligible student loans.<br/><br/>4. Extending Your Payment Period. You may have a lot of student loan debt. With federal consolidation loans you may be able to extend the payment term up to 30 years. It&#8217;s a good idea to realize you will end up paying more interest over the life of your student loan consolidation. The idea is to get some leverage until your career takes off. You can focus on making money instead of several monthly loan payments.<br/><br/>5. In School Consolidation Programs. While still in school, eligible students can lock in a low rate. This would put you into repayment status, but since you are still in school, you are automatically put into deferment. The drawback of consolidating your loans while in school, is that you lose your 6 month grace period. The solution to this would be to request forbearance for up to 1 year on your student loan consolidation. Here again you can do some research and get more information online.<br/><br/>Student Loan Consolidation Help Online<br/><br/>With today&#8217;s Internet technology, you can get a student loan consolidation quickly and easily. The Internet makes research and finding great programs, easy as a few clicks of the mouse. You can learn everything you need to know from information sites that provide the latest news and data in regards to student loan consolidation. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you now can get loan quotes and compare loan companies without having to run all over town.<br/><br/>Student Loan Consolidation Helps Relieve Stress<br/><br/>Student loan consolidation can help student loan borrowers focus on their education, instead of debt. With a single new loan and lower monthly payments, you can focus on what&#8217;s most important, education and your new career. There is no need to lose sleep stressing out about how you&#8217;re going to pay back all those student loans. There are several agencies and companies online that can help with many resources and information to get the help you need.<br/><br/><br/></div>

<div><br/>You have invested a lot of time into college, and now you have graduated. You now have an opportunity to put all that learning into practice. But, what about the student loan? Today, student loan consolidation is becoming more and more necessary. Read to find out why, and get some tips for student loan consolidation.<br/><br/>Looking at the statistics, we find that on average a student will end up with over $20,000 in debt, by the end of there education. You likely can relate to this. It seems like before you even get a job, you have to get into debt.<br/><br/>The problem is not so much the loans. But, the high levels of interest. Even though students get some of the greatest rates, the student loans can add up. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to get better rates?<br/><br/>Student loan consolidation is the answer. By consolidating a student loan, you basically put all of the separate loans into one big loan. This in effect makes it possible to get better rates. This is so, because more you borrow, the less interest you have to pay.<br/><br/>There are benefits and negatives when you consolidate a loan. Some of these benefits and negatives are:<br/><br/>* If you have several federal student loans, you can get a better rate by putting them into one student consolidation loan<br/><br/>* Though you get a better rate of interest by putting all the separate federal student loans into one student loan consolidation loan, you could still end up paying more. This is due to the fact that larger debts are for longer lengths of time. A tip is to always try to pay extra each month and that way, you will have to pay less over the long term. Though you will need to check the terms to see if this is possible.<br/><br/>* A big benefit of student loan consolidation is that it is easier to manage. Student loans that come at various times in the month can really cause havoc on your finances. Having a repayment date for one loan makes life easier.<br/><br/>* The problem with the time thing, is that if before you found it easy to deal with small amounts of loans that is spread out, one big loan may not help you.<br/><br/>* Student loan consolidation is not available to everyone. Student loan consolidation programs generally work with debt over $10,000. So if you have less student debt, then you may not be able to consolidate your student loan.<br/><br/>* There are some benefits of student loan consolidation. The first is that you can get some great extra&#8217;s with student loans. Some can be better rates if you consistently pay on time. And even some will include cash back. Though you need to check to see if you really are getting a better deal with this option.<br/><br/>The first thing you want to make sure you do is to do some research before choosing one particular student loan consolidation program. Online this research can be much easier, and finding online student loan consolidation programs is a popular route to getting the best deals. Make sure you do some research, as there are many different packages, even out of student consolidation loans that can give you great rates.<br/><br/><br/></div>
