Federal Loan Alternatives

There are currently no Federal Loan Alternatives that allow the consolidation of private student loans. Federal Consolidation Loans only allow for the consolidation of Federal student loans.

You may be able to consolidate your outstanding federal education loans into a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan. Visit the Department of Education's website at: studentaid.gov for more information about consolidation loan options that may be available for federal student loans.

The current interest rate for a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan is the weighted average of the interest rates being consolidated rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent.
