¹Interest rates for Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options are higher than interest rates for the Interest Repayment Option. You’re charged interest starting at disbursement, while in school and during your six-month separation or grace period. When you enter principal and interest repayment, unpaid interest will be added to your loan’s current principal. Variable rates may increase over the life of the loan.
