2 Ten Things You Should Know About Student Loans 1: BORROW ONLY WHAT YOU NEED 4: UNDERSTAND YOUR LOANS There are several different kinds of loans. Here are some key factors to be aware of: 7: MAKE PAYMENTS WHILE IN SCHOOL (EVEN IF IT S ONLY A LITTLE) Even if you can only afford Student loans are a great way to help pay for school. SUBSIDIZED VS. UNSUBSIDIZED Accrued interest for subsidized loans is paid by the government while you re in school. Unsubsidized loans require immediate interest repayment. 1 But student loans will eventually have to be paid back... FEDERAL VS. PRIVATE That s only 1 latte 5 song downloads...with Interest. Federal loans are funded by the federal government while private loans are issued by banks or similar institutions. They can help bridge any financial gap not covered by federal loans. Making small payments now will help reduce your principal and/or interest balance in the long run. Minimize Loans As Much As Possible Take advantage of all grants, scholarships, and work study available to you before you borrow student loans. Your financial aid advisor can help you only borrow what you need. 2: HAVE A PLAN Map out the cost of your entire education and how you ll pay for it. For tools and resources to help you build a healthy financial future, visit Nelnet.com/Get-Financially-Fit. 3: CREATE AND FOLLOW A MONTHLY BUDGET FIXED INTEREST VS. VARIABLE INTEREST Fixed rates are constant for the life of the loan, but variable interest rates are adjusted annually on July 1. Find more loan terminology at Nelnet.com/Terms-To-Know. 5: KNOW YOUR SERVICERS Federal Loans are Managed by Loan Servicers: We re Here to Help You. Servicers send important loan info, collect payments, and answer questions. To find out who the loan servicers are for your federal loans, visit nslds.ed.gov. 6: SET UP AN ONLINE ACCOUNT 8: YOU HAVE REPAYMENT OPTIONS If you need to lower or postpone your payment, or seek other repayment options, including forgiveness or discharge of your student loan, contact your servicer today. 9: REPAYMENT IS EASIER WHEN YOUR OVERALL DEBT IS LOWER During college, avoid racking up credit card debt or purchasing unnecessary big-ticket items. When you graduate, you can focus on paying down your student loans instead of juggling multiple (avoidable) monthly payments. 10: KEEP IN TOUCH! Before you graduate, create an estimated monthly budget that factors in your future monthly student loan payment. Several repayment plans are available to fit your budget. Budget worksheets and resources are available at Nelnet.com/Get-Financially-Fit. An online account with your servicer is an easy way to connect with them and keep your contact info current. Visit your servicer s website to create your online account today! Stay in touch with your servicers and ask questions as your situation changes Nelnet, Inc. All rights reserved.

3 Locating All Your Loans To find out what loans you have and who they are payable to, there are two (2) separate tasks that must be done: 1. To find information on your Federal (Title IV) Loans you may log on to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at You will need your FASFA pin number or your FAFSA User Name and Password to gain access to this system. Once you are logged onto the NSLDS website, you will see all of your Title IV Federal Loans (keep in mind that NO Private Loans will appear on this website). If you click on the Blue numbered block next to each loan, the system navigates to a page that tells you more details about the loan, such as: who the servicer and lenders are, what the current status of the loan is, etc. 2. To find information on Private/Alternative Loans, you will need to run a credit report on ALL THREE (3) major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union). You may do this free of charge at WARNING: Be very careful not to sign up for any unwanted services, OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED! This has happened to me in the past, and very recently to one of my borrowers! If you are asked for your credit/debit card information while on this site YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR SOME TYPE OF SERVICE. Once you have your credit reports, check all loans listed on the reports carefully. The Federal Loans will appear along with any Private/Alternative Loans. Some loans may show up on one (1), of the reports while others may show up on all three (3) reports. It is your job to weed through the accounts and determine which loans are duplicates. When this is done properly, you should have a listing of all the loans you have that are outstanding. Spreadsheet to Organize Loans You will find a Student Loan Spreadsheet in the Pre-Seminar Module in Canvas. This spreadsheet will assist you with managing your loans. Please feel free to utilize it to help organize your loans. Consolidating Your Loans?? If you are interested in consolidating your federal loans, please contact the Federal Student Aid Department at You will need to sign in using your FAFSA User Name and Password. You may also use their consolidation loan calculator to assist you in determining the repayment plan that best suits your situation. Note: If you have a 1 of 2
4 defaulted federal loan, you will required to sign up for Income Based Repayment (IBR) or Income Contingent Repayment (ICR). Please feel free to contact us at any time before or after the seminar with any questions you may have via at or by phone at of 2

6 Trouble making payments? Explore deferment or forbearance options. If you find yourself falling behind on your student loans in the form of delinquency or default, consider applying for a deferment or forbearance until you can properly resume payments. Deferment A deferment is a period when payment on the principal of a loan is postponed. For subsidized Stafford loans and all or a portion of a subsidized consolidation loan, interest payments are made by the federal government. After the grace period (the six months after graduating or dropping below half-time student status) has expired, borrowers are entitled to a deferment if they meet regulatory requirements. You should continue making payments on your loan until you re notified the deferment is approved. Your eligibility for a deferment depends on when the loan was made and the individual deferment s requirements. Eligibility for a deferment does not mean you are required to take it you may choose to continue making payments on your student loan. Any unpaid interest on unsubsidized loans will be capitalized (added to the principal balance) at the end of the deferment period, likely increasing the total balance and your monthly payments. Most common types of deferments: School Deferment Unemployment Deferment Economic Hardship Deferment Education Related Deferment Service Related Deferments Other Deferments: Temporary Total Disability, Parental Leave, and Public Service (See Nelnet.com for eligibility requirements and additional available deferments.) Forbearance A borrower who is willing but unable to make payments, and does not meet the qualifications for a deferment, may request forbearance. Forbearance allows you to temporarily postpone your payment for a specified period of time. The forbearance will eliminate any delinquency that currently exists on the account, but won t reverse any derogatory credit information previously reported. No fees are assessed for obtaining forbearance; however, interest will continue to accrue on your loan(s) during the forbearance period. Interest payments may be made at any time during this time. Any unpaid interest at the end of the forbearance period will be capitalized (added to the principal balance). Capitalization of interest will increase the amount that must be repaid and may result in an increased monthly payment amount. Most common types of forbearances: Hardship Reduced Payment Internship/Residency Student Loan Debt Burden Department of Defense (DOD) Loan Repayment Program Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) Loan Repayment Program/Hardship 2011 Nelnet, Inc.
