REPAYMENT/DEFERMENT
Varying according to repayment options, these fees allow you to borrow without pledging assets or collateral. Fees will be added to the principal of the loan at disbursement.

Option 1 Immediate Repayment
You begin making payments of principal and interest 45 days after the disbursement of your loan.

Option 2 Interest Only Repayment
You begin making interest-only payments 45 days after the disbursement of your loan. Principal and interest payments then begin 45 days after graduation.

Option 3 Deferred Principal and Interest Repayment
You defer payment of principal and interest for up to four consecutive years while enrolled in school. Your first principal and interest payments become due 6 months after you graduate. Any unpaid interest accrued during this period will be capitalized before you commence repayment.

Repayment terms vary between 10 and 25 years, based on the cumulative amount borrowed; minimum monthly payment allowed is US $50. There are no penalties for early repayment.
