NextStudent, the Phoenix-based premier education funding company, offers a 1 percent LOCKED discount on federal student loan consolidation after 36 on-time payments. Many education funding companies offer discounts for Auto-Debit, and even a discount for the 36 on-time payments, but the borrower must beware because other lenders might not lock in their discounts, so the discounts are easy to lose.

According to NextStudent, federal student loan consolidation can help students who struggle with the often unmanageable burden of student loan debt after college. Student loan consolidation (http://www.nextstudent.com/) extends the repayment term, which helps lower monthly payments. Once a borrower earns NextStudent's 1 percent LOCKED discount after 36 on-time payments, that reduction is for the entire term of the student loan consolidation, even if the student goes into forbearance or deferment.

Many companies offer great incentives but do not lock in those rate reduction discounts. NextStudent's 1 percent locked benefit can save students and their parents an enormous amount of money over the course of the repayment term.

Save Money by Consolidating Student Loans With NextStudent

Student loan consolidation (http://www.nextstudent.com/consolidation_loans/consolidation_loans.asp) can assist parents and students by reducing student loan payments by up to 60 percent. In addition, repayment periods are extended by up to 30 years, giving students plenty of time to ease into the real world and become financially self-sufficient.

The federal student loan consolidation rate is mandated by the government. Therefore, the only difference among companies offering federal student loan consolidation is the individual discounts or incentive packages offered through each company.

While many representatives of education funding companies claim to offer the best discounts and packages, when it comes down to it NextStudent provides an ultimate advantage for federal student loan consolidation.
