1 NJCLASS cannot be compared to Federal Direct loans. Like the Federal Parent PLUS loan, the NJCLASS family loan is a supplemental loan that can only be used to cover unmet need after all other available aid, including Federal Direct Loans, is subtracted from the cost of attendance.
2 Principal and interest repayment calculations are based on repayment starting 45 days from disbursement for the immediate repayment option and 45 days after leaving school for full deferment and interest-only repayment option. Your actual payment may vary based on terms and conditions of your loan agreement.
