Table 21.
Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program loan volume commitments for Consolidation loans, by guaranty agency: FY 1997-FY 2000

This table shows Consolidation loan volume commitment totals for each guaranty agency for FY 1997-FY 2000. The number of loans, dollar amount, percent change from prior year, percent share of total Consolidation loans guaranteed, and rankings of all guaranty agencies are tabulated for each agency.

Between FY 1997 and FY 2000, consolidation loan dollar commitments increased 50.1 percent from $4.0 billion to $6.0 billion. After a 16.2 percent decrease in dollar volume from FY 1997 to FY 1998, Consolidation loan commitments increased considerably by 49.3 percent from FY 1998 to FY 1999. Consolidation loan volume increased another 20 percent between FY 1999 and FY 2000 to a high of $6.0 billion.

USAF, the guaranty agency with the largest number of Consolidation loan commitments, guaranteed 25.1 percent of Consolidation loan dollars in FY 1997. In FY 1998-FY 2000, USAF guaranteed 29.2, 28.5, and 35.3 percent of the total for Consolidation loans, respectively.

From FY 1997 to FY 2000, several guaranty agencies experienced dramatic growth in their Consolidation loan dollar commitments. Ten guaranty agencies experienced an increase in this volume of more than 100 percent. These were Arkansas (144.0 percent), Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC) (1,254.1 percent), Louisiana (155.9 percent), Maine (109.9 percent), Montana (151.6 percent), New Hampshire (103.7 percent), New York (121.7 percent), South Carolina (224.6 percent), USAF (111.2 percent), and Vermont (496.4 percent).

NOTES: Consolidation loans are not reported as commitments in the same manner as are other FFEL program loan types. They are not included in table 20 that summarizes the loan volume commitments for the FFEL program. Consolidation occurs when a borrower with multiple loans requests that all of his or her loans be consolidated into one loan. This is advantageous to the borrower because he or she can now make one payment to a single lender.
