If you have a Direct Subsidized federal student loan, the government generally does not charge interest on the loan while you're in school.
If you have a Direct Unsubsidized federal student loan, you're responsible for paying the interest after it accrues — either in school, in grace, or in repayment.
If you can afford it, it's smart to make payments on your Direct Unsubsidized federal student loans while you're in school. This will lower your overall balance and potentially reduce the time you'll spend paying off your loan.
If you have a Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized federal loan, your grace period lasts for 6 months. You must begin repaying your loan at the end of your 6-month grace period.
About 45 days prior to your payment start date, we'll provide you with a schedule of when your payments begin and your projected monthly payment amount.
If you have a Direct PLUS or Consolidation federal loan, there is no grace period. Payments begin immediately after the final loan disbursement is made.

Private loans are not funded by the federal government, but are made by banks, credit unions, or finance companies. They are primarily used to help students cover school costs above and beyond what can be covered with a federal loan.
Unlike federal loans, private loan eligibility requirements, interest rates, and terms vary from lender to lender.
For information about repaying private loans, refer to your private loans’ promissory notes, disclosures, and communications from your private loan servicer.
