		Our clients are often surprised by the fact that they may request to speak to their specific loan specialist instead of being stuck with whoever answers the phone. They may also email their loan specialist directly and will always receive prompt and courteous information from our specialists.

Hello, and welcome to EdFed.

EdFed is dedicated to assisting students and graduates with financing their college expenses and managing their education loans. We specialize in education lending, and we are dedicated to ensuring your loans are handled professionally while offering you money-saving benefits.

If you graduated in 2012, or if you will be graduating within the next few months, we would like to congratulate you for obtaining your hard-earned degree. Also, we would like to provide you with some very important information regarding federal student loan consolidation. You must consolidate during your grace period to avoid an interest rate increase of 0.60%. If you wait until your grace period ends, your interest rate will automatically be 0.60% higher. When you consolidate during your grace period, you will have no payments due until your grace period has ended. You have nothing to lose. There really is no reason to pay this higher rate on your federal student loans!

With student loan consolidation, you can lock in a low, fixed interest rate for the life of your loan--and there are no fees, credit checks, income verifications, or prepayment penalties. This will help you reduce your monthly payments by nearly 50% and save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.

EdFed can also help you save money with our extended repayment terms of up to 30 years, and flexible repayment options that you can choose from to best suit your financial needs!

Applying for federal loan consolidation is easy. Click on the "Start Here" button, or contact one of our loan specialists at the number shown. Our loan specialists will be able to answer all of your questions about interest rates and payment amounts, as well as assist you through each step of the application process. We are committed to ensuring your consolidation goes quickly and smoothly.

Some of the rules for consolidation have changed recently. Now, you must have at least $20,000 in eligible federal loans, and you cannot be enrolled in school more than half-time. In-school consolidations have been eliminated, but single-lender consolidations are now allowed. If you have been told in the past that you must consolidate through the lender holding your Stafford loans, you may now choose any lender to handle your consolidation.

At EdFed, we're devoted to getting you the most up-to-the-minute information possible on legislation that could affect your student loans and how much you pay for them.

Sign up for our free newswire to get accurate and timely information delivered straight to your inbox. You can also sign up to receive periodic text messages when the laws change.

How EdFed Helped others!

Thanks to EdFed, I was not only able to lock in a low-interest rate, but also reduce it through their payment incentives, something that I was told by my current lender was impossible. The reduction in my interest rate saved me $32,825 in unnecessary interest.

Scary stories of what could happen if you choose another lender!

In the beginning, I consolidated my student loans with a company that I received numerous mailings from when I was in school, but I soon regretted it. Any time that I would try to call with a question, the customer service rep would give me some lame script, that didn't even come close to answering my original question! I think that this was because they didn't know the answer to the questions that I had, so they'd make something up! They really had no clue what was going on with my consolidation! I never felt like I was a priority to them. They'd try to get off of the phone with me as quickly as possible. I would get so frustrated any time that I had to deal with them! Come to find out, this company wasn't even a real lender! This meant that their job was only to market to me and get me...
