Student Loan Consolidation
|
 |
| To help you take advantage of the
new fixed interest
rates on federal student loans, the UCR Alumni Association has teamed with
Nelnet to offer student loan consolidation.
Consolidating with Nelnet
allows you to reduce your monthly payments and guarantee yourself a fixed
interest rate - potentially saving you thousands of dollars in interest over the
life of your Nelnet Federal Consolidation Loan.
