Deferment of student loans in the United States
KTH is an accredited institution at the US Department of Education and holds a Title IV 'Deferment Only' status (OPE ID 03274300). US students may defer payments on existing federal student loan accounts while enrolled in a master’s programme at KTH. The 'Deferment Only' status does not allow students to take out federal student loans for enrollment at KTH. However, the accreditation facilitates grant and loan opportunities for US students, as many private student loan institutions in the US use this designation as a requirement to grant new loans. Students who wish to defer payments must contact their lending institution in the US.
It is the perfect starting point for students who want to:
- Enhance the reliability of electric power delivery
- Minimise the cost of electric energy
- Encourage the use of new generating sources
- Increase the penetration of renewable energy sources in the energy mix
The programme is the perfect launchpad for an exciting future in electrical engineering, smart grids and electrical networks – whatever you want it to be.
