First, borrowers may opt for immediate repayment of a new student loan, requiring full
principal and interest payments on a monthly basis, 45 days after the loan is funded.
The fixed repayment option allows borrowers to repay $ 25 while attending school and during the grace period,
with principal and interest payments due upon graduation or leaving half - time status.
However, we do require our borrowers to make monthly
principal and interest payments by means of an electronic monthly payment or transfer from a savings or checking account.
Not all three national lenders offer options
where principal and interest payments or interest - only payments are required during the in - school period, so comparisons for those options are not available.
