Michigan Advantage Consolidation*

One loan. One payment. It's possible with MHESLA's Michigan Advantage Consolidation (MAC) student loan program. MAC offers interest rate savings to MHESLA's Federal Consolidation Loan borrowers who consolidate $7,500 or more in eligible federal student loans. First, we payoff your current student loans and then we consolidate them into one manageable, simple interest loan. Because a MAC loan can be repaid over a longer period of time, monthly payments can be lower.

CAUTION AGAINST LOSING YOUR 0% INTEREST RATE

Before consolidating Michigan Students First (MSF)/Michigan Engineering Incentive (MEI) loans, you should carefully compare the benefit of consolidation versus the MSF/MEI benefits that would be lost. It may be more beneficial for you not to consolidate your MSF/MEI loans. Click here to view our new Michigan Students First (MSF) "Spotlight" newsletter for more information.
