Over 2200 Glossary Terms

Deferment

A postponement of loan repayment, often allowed by the lender during the duration of a student's education and for certain post-college programs such as the Peace Corps. Students may also request a deferment post graduation in times of financial hardship; this can change the terms of loan, however.
