Keep Your Student Loan Interest Free
Posted on: Oct 11, 2012
Studying full-time?
…with a new student loan
Once you cash your Alberta and Canada student loans for your current school year, any student loans you received previously are automatically interest-free if you cash them before your 6-month grace period expires.
…without a new student loan
If you have previous student loans, and are not receiving student aid this year, you'll want to let your lenders – EDULINX and the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC) – know so your loans can remain interest-free with no payments required.
