If I join the Peace Corps straight out of college, can I get a deferment on paying back my student loans?
I’m planning on applying to the Peace Corps right after I finish college as part of a grand plan I have, but I was wondering if I would be able to get a deferment on paying back my student loans for the duration of my term [if I get in]. Does anyone know if they offer something like this in Florida?
Peace Corps Volunteers are eligible for certain student loan deferrals for up to 36 months of service. Since Peace Corps Response service is Peace Corps service, you would be eligible for certain deferrals if you have not already exhausted the 36-month period.
It looks like you can defer your student loans by joining the PC. Hope this helps. Check out the PC Q and A site below:
