Paying off any debt will help your credit score if the payments were on time.

I can't estimate how much your score would improve. I don't know your current score, and each credit bureau uses a differrent formula.

Paying off this debt WHILE IN DEFERMENT will probaly help you in the long run because it will decrease your debt/income ratio. In the short run deferment means you are not required to pay, so for the greatest impact, you will probaly have to call your lender and request your loan be placed back into a repayment status in order for your payments to impact your credit positively and monthly. Otherwise, it is not really considered true credit history you are establishing if you are not even required to pay.

Does putting your sudent loans into deferment hurt your credit?

Creditors can make their own determination in how to evaluate deferred student loans on your credit report. Generally, deferred payments are much better then delinquent payments. Debts that must be repaid in the future are still debts though, and the amount of debt you have may effect whether or not you are granted additional credit.

What will 'in grace' status student loans do to your credit score and will it lower your score if you consolidate the student loans?

Does "in grace" mean in deferment? Deferred student loans do affect your debt-to-income ratio. Even in deferment they are factored into how much you owe. Many current and former students do not take the responsibility to keep their loan companies notified of their enrollment status, thinking that their financer will somehow just know that they are still in school. This more than any other factor causes credit problems on student loans. Anytime you open any kind of credit account, there is generally an inquiry which CAN affect your credit score. There is also a "hit" in the risk indicator of having a new account. Those factors are overcome quickly and as long as you pay the new, consolidated, account on time and keep your status updated; it should have little affect on your credit to consolidate.
