graduate,” said Stanley Cauldwell, Manager of
Student Loan Services at first Interstate Dank of
Oregon "Consolidation keeps payments a lot
simpler "
For students who graduated last spring, l'toj
marks the end of most grace periods, the transi
tional period whic h usually lasts between six and
nine months alter graduation
Most Oregon students who consolidate their
debts do it at a national level, and usually at the
end of their grace period. Cauldwell said
Loan consolidation can also reduce tin- amount
of monthly payments by extending tli«- r« |,i.ivtnonl
period for .is long .is 25 visits, instead of die usii.il
10 years
There .ire drawbacks to the program, however
The minimum interest rate for the KI.CI’. for ex
ample, is ’I peri ent, usually significantly higher
than the existing student loan
An extended repayment period also means the
borrower pays more in interest ousts Also, subsi
dies from the federal government during times of
deferment do not apply to consolidation loans
Depending on the borrower's circumstances,
loan consolidation can make a tremendous differ
cnee Interested students should contact the ap
prnpriute agency to lie advised on the pros and
cons of consolidating their debts
