How EdFed Helped others!
I recently did a consolidation for my son, who is attending medical school. The representatives that I spoke with were extremely helpful. They explained every step in the consolidation process in detail so that I had no questions. They were also very efficient in following up with me. - Charlene W. St. Paul, MN
