ECSI student loan repayment options
ECSI offers several student loan repayment options:
Standard Repayment Plan: A standard repayment plan lasts up to 10 years and the monthly installment payment remains the same throughout the repayment period.
Graduated Repayment Plan: A graduated repayment plan varies throughout the repayment period. A graduated repayment plan starts with smaller monthly payments and increases over time. For a limited time, the monthly payment is typically interest only and smaller than the standard repayment plan.
Income-Sensitive Repayment Plan: An income-sensitive repayment plan is based on monthly gross income and your amount of student loan debt. The monthly loan payment is based on a fixed percentage of gross monthly income, between 4% and 25%.
Income-Based Repayment (IBR): Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is an example in an income-driven repayment plan, which lowers your monthly payment based on your discretionary income. With an income-driven payment, your monthly payment may be as low as $0.
25-Year Extended Repayment Plan: The 25-Year Extended Repayment Planlowers your monthly payment and extends the repayment plan from 10 years to 25 years.To qualify, you must have a current loan balance of at least $30,000 and your student loans were disbursed after October 7, 1998.
Student loan borrowers with federal student loans also have access to income-driven repayment plans, student loan forgiveness, forbearance and deferment.
