WHO SHOULD
CONSOLIDATE
PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS?

Whether you're graduating in a few months or are currently in repayment, you may be able to benefit from private student loan consolidation.* You can apply for a Chase Private Consolidation Loan any time after you graduate.
Recent graduates
Private student loan consolidation can make your life easier by allowing you to make one payment each month for all of your private student loans. And because your monthly payments may be lower, you may save money each month.
Parents
A Chase Private Consolidation Loan may help your recent graduate reduce their monthly payments. Consolidation may also help them stay on track with their payments since they'll only have one private student loan payment to make each month.
If you cosigned on private student loans with your recent graduate, a consolidation loan offers you the opportunity to:
- Have your name taken off of those loans
- Cosign on the new consolidation loan with your recent graduate
Borrowers in repayment
If you're currently repaying student loans, private student loan consolidation may help lower your interest rate. That means you could save money by paying less interest on your private student loans.
Chase does not sell these loans to another lender.
Student loan consolidation may extend your repayment term, increasing your overall financial obligation. However, your monthly loan payments may be reduced. You can choose to prepay principal with no prepayment penalties, which reduces the overall cost of your loan.
