Some student loans are eligible for deferment of repayment.
You must check each of your promissory notes to determine whether you might be eligible. Deferments are not automatic. You must apply for a deferment each semester or year that you are eligible. Payments of principal and interest are normally suspended during the deferment period. A student deferment is the only type of deferment that can be processed prior to the expiration of your initial grace period .
