"Loan Consolidation -- whether for private or federal student loans -- offers many benefits for graduates," explains Jonathan Rudy, Director of Loan Consolidation at Student Loan Network. "Upon graduation, many students find themselves with high monthly loan payments. Student loan consolidation helps them meet their monthly payments and establish themselves financially while lowering their monthly costs. The Student Loan Network is proud to be adding another great product to our growing portfolio of student loan products aimed at making funding an education a reality."

The Student Loan Network's private consolidation loan offers a reduced interest rate during the first year of repayment. The loan also has the option for interest-only payments in the first two years, to help students effectively manage their monthly payments following graduation, a time when many students are just getting on their feet financially. The new private consolidation loan offers many additional benefits, including low origination fees, an origination fee rebate after 48 on-time payments, guaranteed approval with qualified co-signer (co-signers are highly recommended for private consolidation loans), and flexible terms and funding options.
