Student Loan Consolidation

Federal Direct Loan Consolidation combines your federal loans into one. It can unlock access to forgiveness programs and simplify repayment — but timing and strategy matter.

One Loan, One Payment

Consolidation merges multiple federal loans into a single Direct Loan with one servicer and one monthly payment — simplifying your repayment experience.

Access More Programs

FFEL loans become eligible for PSLF and SAVE only after consolidation into a Direct Loan. If you have older loan types, this step is often essential.
