What if you're accepted into either program but your plans change before graduation?
That's OK! These loan repayment programs and payments begin once you're working full-time.
What if you need to leave before the end of your work commitment?
That's OK, too! You won't be required to pay back any payments that have already been made on your behalf. Instead, you simply begin making your own monthly student loan payments.
