|
2. MAKE FULL PAYMENTS Make minimum payments while enrolled in school. Payments made while enrolled will credited entirely to the principal balance |

About These Examples:
The first repayment example assumes that you remain in school for 4 years and have a 9 month grace period before beginning repayment. It is based on the fixed interest rate and assumes all payments are made on time. Repayment will last for 10 years beginning from the date of your first payment. The second example is based on the same assumptions, with the additional assumption that you will make minimum monthly payments of $50 while enrolled in school. As no interest is accruing while you are enrolled, these payments would go entirely to the principle balance of your loan.
