GOVERNMENT FUNDED LOANS
Government Student Loans are a great way to pay for education because:
- The interest is low compared to typical interest rate charged by banks and other financial institutions.
- While attending studies, no interest is charged and no loan payments are required.
- Repayment of loans doesn’t need to begin until 6 months after the completion of studies have passed.
- If a student decided to enroll in additional studies, all existing government student loan payments get ‘frozen’ and no payments will be required, nor will interest get charged.
- The repayment is flexible, allowing borrowers to continually change the amounts they pay, as well as the frequency of their payments.
- Payment assistance is available to borrowers who are under financial strain.
STUDENT GRANTS
Government grants are available to many students, and eligibility is determined through the same application that students fill out for their loans. This makes the grant application process easy and efficient. Grants are issued to applicants for a various reasons, including:
- Low-income
- Presence of live-in dependents
- Disabilities
