Contact a University representative for further information.
Vocational Rehabilitation
Vocational Rehabilitation is designed to help disabled individuals prepare for, or return to, productive activity. Training, personal counseling, and other services are provided to those who have physical or mental disabilities that hinder employment. Services to eligible individuals are provided by state agencies for vocational rehabilitation. Further information may be obtained by contacting the local office of the State Vocational Rehabilitative Services.
In-School Deferment on Federal Stafford Loans
The federal loan programs (Federal Family Education Loan Program or Direct Loans) require that students requesting an in-school deferment on their Federal Stafford student loans attend an “eligible institution” to qualify for an in-school deferment. Grantham University is currently not considered an eligible institution for Title IV (Federal Student Aid) purposes; therefore, your request for loan deferral of past federal student loans may be denied by your lender. This decision is totally up to the individual lending institution. It is important to note that the lender is not required to give a deferment to a student who attends an institution that is not yet Title IV eligible.
