UNSUBSIDIZED STUDENT LOANS
Unsubsidized student loans do not carry a government subsidy of the interest. During periods of qualified deferment, the interest accrues and is capitalized on unsubsidized student loans. Fortunately, at this point the government subsidizes the lender, so you can get a low interest student loan. Generally speaking, the interest rate on unsubsidized student loans is lower than the interest available on the open market.
Although the government does not pay the interest on unsubsidized student loans during periods of deferment, they do help you out. During periods of deferment, the already low interest on your student loan is reduced approximately ½ %. This means that even if you have unsubsidized student loans, qualified deferment is more advantageous to you than forbearance. Although in both cases the interest accrues and is capitalized, there’s less of it to accrue under deferment.
