Student Loan Repayment

Borrow Smart

When borrowing keep in mind the following:

Only borrow what you NEED (Remember loans are easy to accept but they have to be repaid)
Choose subsidized loans first (U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on a Direct Subsidized Loan while enrolled and eligible or in grace period)
Rates can change over time
Stay on top of payments (Late payments affect your credit score)
You only get one grace period (If you graduate, leave school, or drop below 6 hours your grace period begins and you are not responsible for payments during this time)
Students do have the option to reduce the loan amount. If a student receives other types of financial aid (grants, scholarships, etc.) in addition to Stafford Loans, he/she may not qualify for the maximum amounts.
