Good news on medical student loans and deferment

def_hrd_a.JPG

The student loan deferment program is intact for now. News can be found on the AMA website here.  Basically what this means is that at least for now and until the fall (an unspecified month) of 2008, we will be able to take advantage of the economic hardship deferment.  The subsidized student loans will not accrue interest.  This is great because over the 4 years…we borrowed in subsidized interest 8.5K x 4 = 34,000 dollars.  At an average of 4% (for me) that is 1,360 dollars.  For those that borrowed at 6.8%, this is a savings of 2,312 dollars per year.

The other good news is that this may be something that may be remedied again in the future.  The US department of education will revisit the issue again next year but for now folks we are safe!

    I hope so this will be some relief yet in a case.

  12. Comment by loan modification guy

    A medical student has a hard life, if they get help we could have better doctors.

  13. Comment by Mortgage loan modification consultants

    By having hard life medical students can get better so that they will cure more people.

  14. Comment by Mortgage loan modification Attorney

    What a relief for medical students! Once they graduate they will be able to afford repying this loan.

  15. Comment by Good karosszéria javítás

    It is true that on average a starting salary for a med student after graduation is 60 k, but these loans can goa up to 200 thousands dollars which will make repayment difficult.
