Help!

My mom just gave me $10,000 to help pay off my student loans. I am currently in school and these loans do not start earning interest until I graduate, which is June 2007. What is the best way to earn interest on this 10K in that time frame? I was thinking about putting it in an S&P500 index fund (ETF). What are my other options and what is the best for this situation?

thanks for your help in advance
