Interest begins to accrue once the money is disbursed to your school. It continues to accrue on your loan while you are in school, even if you choose to defer making payments until after you complete your program. Meritize calculates interest at a simple daily rate, and a portion of the interest accrues every day.
Having a co-borrower can potentially improve your loan options. However, with Meritize, you may be approved without a co-borrower as they consider your academic, military, or work achievements. Your merit is taken into account, and this could lead to approval even without a co-borrower.
