What are the benefits of an extension of my student loan repayment?

There are many benefits to extending your student loan repayment period. Here are a few:

2) You’ll Reduce Your Chance of Defaulting: If you haven’t already, extending your repayment period may also help you reduce your chance of defaulting on your loans. Defaulting can have serious consequences, including losing your federal student loan eligibility, having to pay back more money than you borrowed, and even jail time.

3) It Can Help You Avoid Repaying Too Much Early: If you’re able to extend your repayment period and make regular payments throughout the length of the extension, you may be able to avoid repaying too much early. This can help ensure that you have enough money left over each month to cover other costs associated with being a student—like tuition and books.
