1.The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) reflects the accruing interest, the effect of capitalized interest, the repayment fee, and making equal payments over the term of the loan. IMMEDIATE REPAYMENT APR EXAMPLE: APR is calculated assuming equal disbursements of $5,000 in September and January. Loan enters repayment 45 days after final disbursement at which time outstanding interest is capitalized and 4% repayment fee is added and a 180 month repayment term begins. DEFERRED REPAYMENT APR EXAMPLE: APR is calculated assuming equal disbursements of $5,000 in September and January. Thirty-nine months pass (33 months in-school and 6 months of grace) before a 4% repayment fee is added and a 180 month repayment term begins. APR will vary depending on the length of deferral. Minimum monthly payment is $50.
2. The DEFERRED REPAYMENT option is subject to fund availability and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Deferred loans carry a higher interest rate that results in an increased cost of borrowing.
