Notice: Wells Fargo may at its option, sell federal student loans it originates to an unaffiliated third party and may also transfer servicing rights as a result of the sale. If this occurs, Wells Fargo or the new holder will provide you timely notification of the sale and the address and phone number for the new servicer if applicable.
 

1. Wells Fargo offers federal student loans to select eligible schools. Wells Fargo will continue to serve our existing federal student loan customers who attend schools which may no longer be eligible under Wells Fargo's policies. Customers must meet qualification criteria and all loans are subject to approval.

2. Repayment begins immediately after the final disbursement, but your loan is deferred while you are in school at least half time and for the six-month period after you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment.
