You maybe surprised to learn that most people can approved for a student loan at any age. Below are many good tips that will help you understand how to apply for a student loan, so keep on reading! Do know that you are probably going to have a post-graduation grace period from your student loans before you are required to start making payments back. This is generally a pre-determined amount of time once you graduate that the payments will have to begin. Keep this information handy and avoid penalties from forgetting your loans. Keep in mind the time that's allotted to you as your grace period from when you get out of school until you have to start paying back the loan. Many loans, like the Stafford Loan, give you half a year. Perkins loans offer a nine-month grace period. For other loans, the terms vary. Know when you will have to pay them back and pay them on time. Prioritize your loan repayment schedule by interest rate. The loan with the largest interest rate should be your first priority. Use extra funds to pay down loans more quickly. Student loans are not penalized for early payoff. Try getting your student loans paid off in a 10-year period. This is the traditional repayment period that you should be able to achieve after education. If you struggle with payments, there are 20 and 30-year repayment periods. The drawback to these is that they will make you pay more in interest.
