With many traditional fixed-rate or variable rate student loans, a student’s monthly payment does not change based on the borrower’s income. In other words, the student is expected to make the payment regardless of whether they are unemployed or have failed to secure a good-paying job.
Payments with IBR loans through Edly adjust based on the borrower’s income, and allow borrowers to apply for loan forbearance2 if they lose their job or make below $30,000 annually. Payments are recalculated annually based on an income-based percentage of the borrower’s current annual salary.
We’ll check to see if you meet our initial requirements, like school, major, degree and graduation date. Based on your school details and academic standing, you will be presented with the loan option(s) that are available to you.
Complete your loan application to be considered for your official offer. You can get pre-qualified without affecting your credit score. If you don’t pre-qualify on your own, you can easily add a cosigner.
Review your final terms, accept your offer, and we’ll send your info over to your school for certification and disbursement.
