Looking for debt consolidation?

Debt settlement offers a no-loan alternative to debt consolidation programs. If you’re struggling to meet monthly payments on your credit card debt or on other debts besides your student loans, a debt settlement program could offer you the debt relief you’re looking for.

A debt settlement program can give you affordable monthly program payments and could help you settle your credit cards, medical bills, and other eligible debts within 12 to 36 months for up to 50 percent less than what you owe.*

Settle all your eligible unsecured debts:

  • Credit cards
  • Department store cards
  • Medical bills
  • Collections and repossessions

(Please note that student loans and student consolidation loans aren’t eligible for debt settlement.)

* Debt settlement services offered through Think Debt Relief, a division of National Debt Relief LLC. Actual results will vary based on individual situations and creditors. Success in the Think Debt Relief debt settlement program is highly dependent on your ability to save a specified amount consistently each month. Settlement negotiations are provided by a partner of Think Debt Relief and not by agents of Think Debt Relief. Settlement percentages and timelines are based on results achieved by this partner and may not include customers who fail to complete the debt settlement program or be typical in all situations. Settlement percentages may be based on debt amount at the time of settlement rather than at the time of enrollment in the program. The Think Debt Relief debt settlement program doesn’t assume or pay your debts, repair your credit score, or provide tax, legal, or credit repair advice. Enrollment in the Think Debt Relief debt settlement program doesn’t guarantee that your creditors will agree to any offers to settle your debt obligations for less than the amount owed.

Important Information:
Since federal student loans generally offer more attractive terms than private student loans, you should always use your federal financing options first. You should only consider taking out a private student loan if you find that, even after your federal loans and grants, your school costs still exceed your available scholarships and financial aid. In that case, a private student loan could provide the remaining money you need.


In order to provide you with a student loan, it will be necessary for us to share the information you’re providing here with certain third parties, such as a lender or servicer. Any personal information you provide to us on this form may be shared with a third party as outlined in our privacy policy, for the purposes of providing you either with a student loan or with other products or services.

NextStudent is a marketer of student loans and is not the lender for the NextStudent Private Loan. All loans are subject to credit approval. NextStudent Private Loans may not be available in all states. Borrower benefits, terms, and conditions are subject to change without notice.

* Based on the annual cost of attendance at your school. The lifetime aggregate maximum loan limit is $75,000 for undergraduates and $150,000 for graduate students. The minimum loan amount may be higher in certain states.

† No payments required until six months after graduation or after ceasing to be enrolled at least half time. Immediate repayment and interest-only repayment options are also available. Repayment begins no later than eight years after the loan is disbursed (five years’ deferment for undergraduates, three years’ deferment for graduate students).

‡ The loan proceeds will be disbursed in the form of a check co-payable to you and your co-signer (if applicable).
