Loan payment example assume a $10,000 loan at a constant interest rate of 5.20%, assuming 45-month in-school period, a six month grace period (i.e., a 51-month "interim period"), no reserve fee, and 15 years in repayment, would require a monthly payment of $97.80. The interim APR would be 4.81%; the repayment period APR would be 5.05%. This interest rate is effective as of 11/01/09 through 11/30/09, and assumes a Prime Rate value of 3.25%.
