The heart of every city’s downtown tells a story of the history, values, and vision of those who call the community home. In the very core of Salt Lake City, two special downtown blocks serve as a mirror. Just a handful of acres of land hold more than 150 years of the city’s story. On planners’ maps, they’re known as Salt Lake City Blocks 75 and 76. But to generations who have worked, lived, and played along their streets, Blocks 75 and 76 are a world unto themselves. They have been built up, torn down, and built again. Once there were farm homes, then mansions. Utah’s first department store was there, as was the largest newspaper, clanging public railcars, a nationally renowned theatre that hosted the era’s most famous stage performers.

FACT SHEET: "Help Americans Manage Student Loan Debt" | The White House

A potentially neat announcement I found in some of my research.-J

FACT SHEET: "Help Americans Manage Student Loan Debt" | The White House: Help Americans Manage Student Loan Debt by Capping Monthly Payments to What They Can Afford
Allow borrowers to cap their student loan payments at 10% of discretionary income. In the 2010 State of the Union, the President proposed – and Congress quickly enacted – an improved income-based repayment (IBR) plan, which allows student loan borrowers to cap their monthly payments at 15% of their discretionary income. Beginning July 1, 2014, the IBR plan is scheduled to reduce that limit from 15% to 10% of discretionary income.
Today, the President announced that his Administration is putting forth a new “Pay As You Earn” proposal to make sure these same important benefits are made available to some borrowers as soon as 2012. The Administration estimates that this cap will reduce monthly payments for more than 1.6 million student borrowers.

Student Aid on the Web

SO if you've seen my last several posts. I've been reposting information I've been finding from various sources re: issues that I've wanted to research to learn more about. In this case I've been looking into consolidating my student loans and haven't had the time to research it all thoroughly so I've posted a few good links to come back to later when I have more time. Enjoy!


Student Aid on the Web: Special Direct Consolidation Loans


The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) began offering Special Direct Consolidation Loans to eligible borrowers in January 2012. This is a short-term consolidation opportunity, ending June 30, 2012, for borrowers with
at least one student loan held by the Department (a Direct Loan or a Federal Family Education Loan [FFEL] owned by the Department and serviced by one of the Department’s servicers); and
at least one commercially-held FFEL loan (a FFEL loan that is owned by a FFEL lender and serviced either by that lender or by a servicer contracted by that lender).


Special Direct Consolidation Loans are intended to help borrowers manage their debt by ensuring all of their federal loans are serviced by the same entity, resulting in one bill and one payment (borrowers repay loans to a loan servicer). Borrowers will also receive an interest rate reduction on Special Direct Consolidation Loans as a repayment incentive.


The information below describes the following aspects of taking out a Special Direct Consolidation Loan:
Eligibility Requirements, Benefits, and Repayment

Example D: Special Direct Consolidation Loans

The Department of Education (the Department) is offering a short term consolidation opportunity--Special Direct Consolidation Loans--from January - June 30, 2012.
Special Direct Consolidation Loans are not the same as traditional Direct Consolidation Loans that borrowers would apply for through this Web site.


Only certain borrowers are eligible for Special Direct Consolidation Loans.


One of the Department's federal loan servicers--FedLoan Servicing (PHEAA), Great Lakes Educational Loans Services, Inc., Nelnet, or Sallie Mae--will contact eligible borrowers starting in January 2012 about the new and different online application process for Special Direct Consolidation Loans.


Borrowers who may be eligible for a Special Direct Consolidation Loan must not apply through this Web site. Doing so will make them ineligible to participate in the special consolidation opportunity. For this reason, it is critical that potentially eligible borrowers do not take any action until they are contacted by one of the Department's servicers listed above.
For Special Direct Consolidation Loan eligibility information, visit

Thank you.

Student Aid on the Web: Loan Consolidation


A Direct Consolidation Loan allows a borrower to consolidate (combine) multiple federal student loans into one loan. The result is a single monthly payment instead of multiple payments.

From January through June 2012, the U.S. Department of Education will offer certain borrowers two options for consolidation:

Traditional Direct Consolidation Loans

Special Direct Consolidation Loans

During this time period, borrowers making separate payments on their federal loans to one or more servicers (you repay your loan to a loan servicer) may be eligible for a Special Direct Consolidation Loan. A Special Direct Consolidation Loan offers borrowers different repayment terms and benefits than a traditional Direct Consolidation Loan. There is also a different application process for Special Direct Consolidation Loans. For more information about Special Direct Consolidation Loans, please go to the Special Direct Consolidation Loans page.


If you would like more information about traditional Direct Consolidation Loans, please go to the traditional Direct Consolidation Loans page.
