What to Expect While in Your Grace Period
A grace period is the time in between graduation (or a drop below half-time enrollment) and the time your first payment is due. This six-month period of time allows you to adjust to life after college and find employment. You are not required to make payments during this time, but if you can afford it, making even small payments can save you interest and lower the total cost of your loans.
After you leave school, it’s important to understand how your student loan payment can affect your finances so choosing the repayment plan that works best for you should be a top priority. You will have the option to explore repayment plans and choose the plan that best suits your needs when you complete loan exit counseling, but feel free to contact us at 855-337-6884 and one of our friendly customer service representatives will help you find the right plan.

You can always call your student loan servicer to inquire about available repayment options including the ones that may reduce your monthly payments considerably based on your income. You don’t have to pay someone for this assistance.
