IBR vs. LRAP?

Post by Core » Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:08 pm

Stupid question, but if you are pursuing PI, do you qualify for the IBR as well as your school's loan repayment assistance program - or just one or the other? For instance, if I attend Chicago for PI, do I gain the benefits of both the IBR and their Hormel program, or do I need to select one to apply for?

your school's lrap may force you to choose one repayment method, but that would be up to them. the federal government couldn't care less about lrap
Oh, ok. Thanks.

my understanding leads me to think that ibr will set your monthly payment to a certain amount (according to your income) and then a certain percentage of that monthly payment is covered by lrap (also according to your income)
