The actual payment of principal and interest will begin six months after graduation or if you are no longer enrolled at least half time. The interest will continue to accrue during the deferment period and will be capitalized when it comes to repayment.

Interest only payments will allow you to make smaller payments as you will be paying the interest only for four consecutive years. Payment of the principal and interest will begin either 45 (about) days after graduation or when you withdraw from school.

Payment of principal and interest begins mostly 45 days after loan is disbursed.
