Repayment Strategies

  • Make payments during grace period to reduce principal before interest capitalizes
  • Consider refinancing if you have good credit and stable income
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) may forgive remaining balance after 120 qualifying payments
  • Student loan interest may be tax-deductible (up to $2,500 per year)
  • Autopay often provides a 0.25% interest rate reduction
