Can You Save Money by Consolidating with Sallie Mae?
The folks at Sallie Mae have put together a handy and user-friendly tool whereby you can quickly and easily figure out if consolidating your student loans with Sallie Mae® can lower your monthly loan payments. After answering 5 questions, the animated tool will show you how much you can save each month, if at all, by consolidating with Sallie Mae.

Caveat: Consolidation can be advantageous if, for example, you have many loans from different agencies. However, it's important to remember that a lower monthly payment can also extend the life of your student loan indebtedness by a significant amount. A longer loan term invariably translates to paying more in interest charges in the long run. Keep that in mind when making your decision.
NB: Sallie Mae used to be a government-subsidized entity, but the company completed a conversion to being a 100% private organization back in 2004. Sallie Mae, therefore, no longer has an official relationship with the federal government.
