When Nelnet, a leading education planning and financing company, receives your completed student loan consolidation application before July 1, 2007, you will receive the lowest statutory interest rate available based on your existing loans through Nelnet's Best Rate Guarantee. "Eliminate the uncertainty of a possible interest rate hike on July 1," said Tim Bornemeier, Managing Director of Nelnet Customer Solutions. "With the Best Rate Guarantee, Nelnet will hold your consolidation application until it is known what the lowest rate will be and then consolidate your loans at that time to secure the lowest rate available to you." If interest rates increase on July 1, 2007, Nelnet will consolidate your loans as soon possible after the date the interest rate change is announced and your completed consolidation application has been received. If interest rates decrease on July 1, 2007, Nelnet will hold your completed consolidation loan application and consolidate your loans after July 1, 2007. Student loan consolidation combines multiple federal student loans, such as Stafford and PLUS loans, into one loan with one low monthly payment. The fixed interest rate for a federal student loan consolidation is determined by taking the weighted average of the interest rates of the original student loans, rounded up to the nearest 1/8 percent. "The Best Rate Guarantee is a win-win program for all graduates choosing to consolidate their federal student loans," added Bornemeier. In addition to the best rate, Nelnet offers valuable benefits to borrowers, including a 1 percent interest rate reduction after 36 initial, regular, on-time payments and an additional .25 percent interest rate reduction for auto-debit payments. Together, these benefits reduce borrowers' interest rates by another 1.25 percent, potentially saving thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan.

One New Year's resolution to consider is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). [PRWeb Dec 26, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/filing_FAFSA/financial_aid/prweb493799.htm Mon, 8 Jan 2007 16:52:01 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com education planning and financing company, advises all college-bound students that beginning on January 2, 2007, they can jumpstart their financial aid process by filing the FAFSA. Billions of dollars in financial aid were distributed to undergraduate and graduate students in the form of grants, work-study, federal loans, federal tax credits and deductions during the 2005-06 academic year. Even with 12.7 million students applying for aid last year, millions more missed out on federal money because they did not file a completed FAFSA. Filing the FAFSA with the Department of Education (Department) is the first important step in the financial aid process. "The FAFSA starts with the word FREE - the application process is available for all who seek financial aid," said Craig Cornell, Director of Nelnet's Enrollment Services and former financial aid officer. "All students and families, regardless of their income, should fill out the form as soon as possible in the New Year because some aid is disbursed on a first-come, first-served basis." After the FAFSA is submitted, the Department determines the Expected Family Contribution. This is the amount of money a family is expected to contribute each year toward family members' higher education expenses. Some schools try to bridge the difference between the total cost of education and the family's Expected Family Contribution through a financial aid award. "Applying for federal financial aid can sometimes be an intimidating process for first-time students," said Suzanne Pittman, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management and Director of Financial Aid at Georgia College & State University. "Financial aid counselors are aware of this and are available to assist with the process should you have any questions. In addition, students who may procrastinate in filling out the FAFSA should be aware of application deadlines at each school they apply to and be sure a completed FAFSA is submitted at least several weeks in advance." Even though your family may not have received tax statements from the previous year at the time you file the FAFSA, it is recommended that you estimate your tax information. Updates to the FAFSA can be made after you complete your tax returns. Nelnet advises you to file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov to avoid errors and accelerate the process. Nelnet provides free assistance to students completing the FAFSA. Resources such as an overview of the FAFSA and what documents are needed to complete the form are available at Scholarship searches are also available at this site.
