<p>I had a question on student loans. If I end up getting my B.S. with about 30k in loans, and decide I want to go to academic grad school and am in a situation where I can get a fellowship and not be paying for grad school, do you have to start paying back the student loans while still in grad school and not really in a position to make money, or can you wait until you finish school?</p>
<p>If you are enrolled in an approved institution, attending at least half-time, you can qualify for an in-school deferment. In many cases, you will need to request this from your lender...and may need to complete and In-School Deferment Form (unless your institution participates with National Clearinghouse.)</p>
