Should I Consolidate My Federal Student Loans?
Loan consolidation may not always be your best option in managing the repayment of your student loans. UHEAA offers an Extended Repayment Plan that offers many advantages in comparison to loan consolidation. The reasons to consider the Extended Repayment Program include:
- Borrower Benefits that are not available on consolidation loans,
- Reduced monthly payments,
- Extended repayment period,
- Less paperwork and faster processing time than a loan consolidation application process, and
- Local service.
- Have at least one loan guaranteed or serviced by UHEAA, or
- Be attending or have attended in the past a college or university located in Utah, or
- Be a Utah resident.
