1 To qualify, borrowers must also, prior to the first payment due date, sign up on Manage Your Loans to receive account correspondence and information by email. The interest rate reduction benefits continue during active repayment as long as payments are made as initially scheduled. Loan credits are based on the original loan amount (less cancellations, refunds and returns). New for AY 2007/2008, a borrower who has earned the interest rate reduction benefit and who makes a late payment can re-earn the interest rate reduction once by making 24 consecutive payments as initially scheduled. A borrower who fails to earn the interest rate reduction because of a late payment can re-qualify to earn the benefit once by making 24 consecutive payments as initially scheduled and then earn the benefit by satisfying the original, remaining on-time payment requirements. Terms and conditions apply.
2 The automatic debit benefit is available during active repayment for as long as the borrower’s monthly payment is successfully deducted from the borrower’s bank account.

Upromise members turn everyday spending into savings for education by shopping with participating companies who will contribute a portion of their qualified spending into their Upromise account. Once borrowers become Upromise members, they can invite family and friends to join and contribute their rewards to the borrower’s Upromise account to increase savings.
