Department of Education Resources
Due to changes to federal aid brought about by the One Big Beautiful Bill, repayment options have changed for current borrowers. The Department of Education outlines the currently available ones here.
- Can I start repaying my student loans while I am in school?
- Yes. There is no early payment penalty and a borrower's student loans will not kick into repayment if they begin paying earlier than their graduation date or end of their grace period
- What is a grace period?
- A grace period is 6 months after the student graduates. During this time, the borrower's federal student loans will remain in deferment.
- Students borrowers who have taken time off during their academic career may not be eligible for their grace period and repayment may start at graduation.
