Consolidation Loan - Student Rule

Mary Foster-There are many students who are not financially sound and look forward for an education loan from government or financial institutions. They are able to complete their studies on the back of these education loans. Still, the salary of the job that many students receive after completion of their studies is not enough to pay off the monthly installments of their education loans.


However, today they have an option of easing their financial life by opting for consolidation of their education loans. Student consolidation loans allow the applicant to pay less monthly payments than they are paying currently. It allows a saving of thousands when we calculate the cost of interests and the number of installments.
Though, consolidation loan is convenient for a student, still applying for the consolidation requires a rule. You have to first identify yourself with the eligibility criteria of the loan. The questions that you need to ask yourself prior to a student consolidation loan application are as follows:

• Do you have $10,000 or more of education loan?
• Have you completed your schooling?
• Has the commencement for the repayment of the loan begun?
• Have you earlier consolidated all your education loans? Are you defaulted in your loan payments?

If you are eligible for the student consolidation loan, you can apply for it with the completion of your schooling or by the time the loan moves into a repayment or grace period.
For filing the application of a student consolidation loan, the applicant requires following database readily available to them:

• Personal – Address, DOB (Date of birth), driver's license, phone number and email address.
• Reference - Address, phone numbers and names of at least two reference.
• Current loan – Type of Loan, Holder of the loan, balance of the loan and applicable interest rate.

Once you are ready with the information, you can easily submit the application and free yourself from the financial burden.
