How does repayment work?
When does it begin?
Repayment begins 6 months after either graduation, termination of course of study or a status change to part-time student.
How long is repayment?
JELF's repayment period is 8 years (although it can always pay back sooner with no penalty!).
What are payments like?
JELF offers a graduated repayment schedule, which means that in the first years of repayment, when income is likely to be at its lowest, a borrower will make the smallest payments.
