Things to remember…continued If you receive a loan, then: • You must give the NSLSC proof of enrolment for each study period in which you are enrolled, even if you are not applying for a new student loan. This way your loans will be interest-free while you are studying. • After you finish your program, contact NSLSC to set up your repayment schedule. You must repay your loan whether you graduate or not. • Try not to rely on student loans as the only source of money to pay for school. Thnk about working part time and saving first. • Look for grants, scholarships and bursaries • Ask your employer if they will contribute to your education N ational S tudent L oan S ervice C entre 58
