Student Loan Consolidation While in Grace Period
We can't eliminate our student loans, but for many Spring 2007 college graduates this the best time to consider consolidating any loans taken out before July 2006, as this would save the at least 0.60% in interest rate.
Many don't know about this benefit, and many won't even look in to it, however we are here to assist id you would like to explore a student loan repayment reduction. This benefit only applies to Federal Student Loan Consolidations while in "Grace Period".
Grace Period according to The Federal Student Loan Act is defined as a no payment required period not to exceed 6 months after college graduation, while not working.
If you graduated in Spring 2007 you'll have till sometime in November, December or January before you are required to make a student loan payment, as long as you are not employed in the field you studied.
