Can You Pay Off The Balance Of A Loan Early Without Having To Pay Interest ?

My question is this: If I take that loan for, say, $20k, when the first payment comes due, can I send them a check for $20k and be on my merry way? In other words, do I still owe interest on the money while it’s in my possession, even though I don’t have to make any payments on it?
