Grace Period Savings
Over the past month, we have seen a huge increase in the amount of consolidation application requests. Many of these requests are June graduates trying to get their applications submitted before their grace period expires.
If you are currently still in your six-month post-graduation grace period, you can apply for a consolidation and receive additional savings. During this six months, Stafford loans disbursed before July 1, 2006 have a 0.6% lower rate. By consolidating during this period, you are able to lock in this discounted rate. If you wait until your grace period is over your rate will increase by 0.6%. Your application must be signed and received in our office before your grace period ends in order to obtain the additional 0.6% discounted rate. When you fill out your consolidation application, be sure to include your grace period end date, and we will complete your consolidation when your grace period expires.
If you are not sure when your grace period expires, give us a call toll free at 877-328-1565 to speak with a loan counselor.
