Navigating the borrowing process

贷款 are a reality for most graduate and professional students, and we will help you navigate the borrowing process from application to repayment. We encourage you to be a responsible consumer and to borrow only what is necessary. We urge you to seek advice from our 学生财务服务 team whenever needed.

Please keep in mind that with loans, 银行 often deduct loan fees before monies are disbursed, which can impact the amount you need to borrow. You should calculate loan fees prior to finalizing loan requests. 请参阅 联邦贷款费用 了解更多信息.

偿还贷款

Be sure you're in touch with your 贷款服务机构 at all times throughout your years of borrowing. It is even wise to pay interest while you're in school, 如果可能的话, on any loans that are accruing interest (i.e. every loan EXCEPT the Direct Subsidized Loan). Once you're ready to leave school, we recommend using the 还款估计量 to determine which is the best loan repayment option for you. Note: You may switch plans as your income situation changes. Just realize this — the longer you take to repay your loans, the more they will cost you.
