Student loan deferment is an agreement between the student and lender that the student may reduce or postpone repayment of a student loan for a designated period.[1] Deferment or forbearance[2] will prevent the loan from going into default, but may increase the overall cost of the loan.[3] If the student is experiencing financial hardship or is unemployed, he or she may be eligible for deferment.[4] The lender may require valid proof of financial hardship and other financial information when the student applies.[5]
