*The on-time benefit starts immediately at repayment and allows you a full year to get on track. The automatic on-time benefit will be cancelled retroactively for any Stafford or PLUS Loan borrower who reaches 210 days past due during the first year of repayment without making a payment or taking any other preventative action to avoid default. A PLUS Loan borrower who reaches 210 days past due at any time during repayment will also be held responsible for repayment of any credits previously applied under the NC Advantage.

**The automatic draft and electronic statement benefit for a Stafford or PLUS Loan borrower will be cancelled in the event a total of three automatic drafts are rejected for insufficient funds.

Determination of the amount and availability of benefits on new loans is generally made on an annual basis and may be subject to change at any time. Benefits on loans, once received by a borrower, remain in effect for the life of those loans as long as the borrower continues to meet the associated eligibility requirements, as permitted by law. If you have loans from College Foundation made prior to July 1, 2006, call us toll-free at 866-866-CFNC to review benefits in effect for your loans.
