even greater (repayment example shown below).

Note: The chart is for example only. Your actual
savings my differ. The numbers are estimated
as follows:
Current
Payment: uses a 5.30% interest
rate under a standard 10 year repayment
plan. This rate is for loans first disbursed
between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2005.
Loans disbursed before this period have
a slightly higher interest rate.
Consolidated
Payment: calculated under the Federal
Consolidation Program using an example of
a 5.375% with extended repayment terms.
The
In-Grace Consolidated Payment: calculated under the Federal Consolidation
Program using the in-grace discount of 4.750%
with extended repayment terms.
Note
that extending the repayment period increases
your total interest costs because you will
be making smaller payments over a period
of time. You can however prepay all or any
portion of your outstanding balance without
penalty reducing the total amount of interest
paid over the life of the loan. |

You can
reduce your fixed rate even further
by having your monthly payments automatically
deducted from your money account each month.
Your fixed, in-grace
consolidated rate will then be:
4.50%
Other benefits with automated
payments:
- no checks to write
- no payment deadlines to worry about
- payments made on time, every time
- will help you qualify for the -1.00%
discount after 36 consecutive, on-time
payments: see below

Imagine
reducing your rate up to an additional 1.00%
you can after making consecutive, on-time
payments for a select period of time depending
on your consolidated balance.
Your in-grace rate with
automatic payments can drop to:
3.50%
and will remain at that level for the remaining
term of your loan as long as you continue
to make consecutive on-time payments.
