The interest rate for this loan is fixed at 6%. You are not responsible for the interest that accrues on the loan while you are enrolled as a student at Wabash.
This is a real loan. One in which you must repay after graduation. Interest will begin the first day of the sixth calendar month after the month in which you cease to be enrolled in the College (whether because you have graduated, withdrawn, transferred, or for any other reason). The loan repayment period is a term of 10 years.

Need to Borrow this much? When Wabash determined your financial aid award, it used a standard budget to estimate the expenses you would incur while attending school. This expense estimate is referred to as your Cost of Attendance (COA). If you can reduce your expenses to an amount less than the school’s estimated COA, you might not need to borrow as much as the school has awarded.
