Apply for a Refinance or Consolidation Loan

The Maine Private Education Loan Network (Network) consists of local Maine lenders you know and trust. You may be eligible to refinance or consolidate private and federal student loans with the lenders in the Network if you meet certain requirements such as:

  • You have at least $10,000 in student loans to refinance, which can include private student loans from other lenders and/or your federal student loans like Direct, PLUS, or Stafford loans.
  • You are a Maine resident, graduate of a Maine high school, or attended a Maine college or university; and
  • You meet credit criteria for loan approval.

You can select a local Maine lender from the Network by clicking the “Apply Now” link to see information about their loan offerings or to access their application. You may also use this handy tool to get a quick glance at or comparison of the lender’s loan features, terms, and fees. Unless otherwise stated, the three rates shown are the rates that are available to borrowers with credit scores that are best, better, and good, respectively.

IMPORTANT: When considering refinancing or consolidating student loan debt, it is important to understand that you are receiving a new loan with new terms, interest rates, and benefits. None of the features of your old loans, whether private or federal, will carry through to your new loan. Federal student loans also provide certain benefits that may be unavailable with private student loans. The Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Program (FDCLP) offered by the federal government allows borrowers to combine any of their outstanding federal student loans into a single new loan. The fixed rate is based on the weighted average interest rate of the loans being consolidated. You should compare the terms and conditions of the FDCLP to any private consolidation loan you may be considering.
