Ask Smart Questions

  •  How much may I borrow?
  • What are the fees associated with the loan?
  • What are the interest rates and how often will they change (e.g., quarterly)?
  • Do I need a co-signer?
  • Can I receive a lower interest rate when I apply with a co-signer?
 
  • Can I defer payments while in school?
  • What are the terms of repayment?
  • Are there any penalties for paying the loan off early?
  • Can I receive combined billing with my Stafford loans?
 

As always, take care to borrow only what you need to cover your education costs, not what you are eligible to receive.
