Deferring Principal and Interest Payments During School for your Easy Graduate Private Student Loan
Concentrate on your studies and forget about your student loan payments for four years. While you're in school you are exempt from payments. After your four year deferment period (or if you dip below half time enrollment), you'll need to start repaying your graduate student loan within approximately 180 days after you graduate. We'll combine the interest that accrues during the deferment period and add it to principal when you begin repayment.
Medical students can request additional deferment after graduation for up to 4 years while completing internship or residency with a maximum deferment period of up to 8 1/2 years (including the 6-month grace period).
