However, borrowers with a graduate degree can consolidate their loans (both undergraduate and graduate loans) without a co-signer. We recommend that graduate degree holders apply with a qualified co-signer, as it will greatly increase their chance for approval and could provide a lower interest rate.

Which types of loans are eligible to be consolidated?
