• Extend the term of the loans by combining multiple loans into one, and reduce monthly payments — you pick the plan that best meets your needs
• Lower cost solution than other forms of financing, e.g. high interest rate credit cards
• Asingle point of contact for servicing and managing your student loan debt
• In-school consolidation to secure future financial cost savings
