MysticTrunks Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hello everyone on this forum! I have decided start on this beautiful journey of becoming a Physician Assistant. I will be graduating spring 2018 and I have decided to apply that summer. This means that if I get accepted into PA school I will resume my studies June 2019 (depending on the school). However, I have something I can't get off my head. Loan REPAYMENT. After I graduate college I have a 6 month period to start repaying my undergraduate loans. Of course I plan to work for that whole year and study a bit. But I don't know if I can afford to pay large amounts of loan repayments during that gap year. Is it possible that once I start my studies as a PA I will be able to "suspend" my payments until I am done with my studies? I am sure I am not the only student on this position, so let me know with previous experiences! Thank you so much! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Sounds like a good question for your current school's financial aid office. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasingTheDream Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Look into income-driven repayment. They adjust your monthly payment based on how much you're making in the current year. I chose to do it while I'm gaining hours and retaking a class. So far it has been reasonable, money is just tight.

TheFatMan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The department of education will automatically put you into deferment and you won't have to make any payments as long as you are over half time student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
