Student Loan Deferment

Navigate Your Financial Plan

For many students and parents, loans represent an important resource to help finance educational expenses.¹ However, if you hit a bump in your payment plan, DeVry University is here to help. In-school student loan deferments are available and allow borrowers to defer principal payments on Federal Direct loans borrowed for educational purposes. These financial aid deferments may apply to prior Federal Direct Loans which, in some cases, may extend beyond your enrollment to include a six-month grace period.
