Loan Deferment

A deferment allows you to temporarily postpone your monthly payments. If you have a subsidized loan, the federal government will pay the interest for you during a period of deferment. For other loans, interest will accrue during deferments.

You must be attending an eligible institution at least half-time (6 credits at Green River).

The loan company will either use the National Student Clearinghouse or send you an In-School Deferment Form to have filled out and sent back.  These forms need to be sent to:

National Student Clearinghouse
2300 Dulles Station Blvd, #300
Herndon, VA 20171

For more information on Loan Deferments go to the US Dept. of Education website or National Student Clearinghouse.
