Unlike other types of aid, a student loan must be repaid, along with all fees, charges, and accumulated interest. Student loans typically do not go into repayment until after the student has graduated, withdrawn from College, or dropped to less than half-time status. 全球赌博十大网站 has several loan programs available for students and their families. To qualify for a student loan(s), the student must be currently enrolled in six or more credits. Our Loan Comparison Chart helps to explain the differences in each loan type.
