Repayment Options

The Arkansas Education Loan offers three different repayment options so that you can choose what works best for your financial situation.

It is important to understand how much you owe in principal on your loan versus how much you owe in interest. You also need to be able to understand how paying just as little as $25 a month more on principal can significantly reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan. You can run the numbers yourself using this Student Loan Repayment Calculator.
