Federal Direct Loans

Subsidized

A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. It is funded by the federal government and administered through colleges and universities. Students receiving these loans are not charged any interest and do not have to begin repaying the loan while they are enrolled in school at least half time, during a grace period, or during authorized periods of deferment. 

Unsubsidized

With an unsubsidized loan, you will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. You may choose to pay the interest while you're in school to reduce your final repayment amount.

Parent PLUS Loans

A Federal loan available to parents of dependent undergraduate students. Applications will be available after July 1 prior to the start of the fall semester of the academic year at .

One eligibility requirement of a Direct PLUS Loan is that the borrower must be credit-approved. Unlike other loans which evaluate FICO scores or Debt to Income ratios, the credit requirement only requires that the borrower does not have an adverse credit history. 

If a parent is denied for a PLUS loan, there are two ways a parent may still qualify for a Direct PLUS Loan. First, a denied parent may receive a PLUS if the parent obtains a credit-worthy endorser (cosigner) for the PLUS loan. Second, a parent may challenge the adverse credit history with the U.S. Department of Education.

If the parent is denied for the PLUS loan and will not obtain an endorser or challenge the credit decision, the student is then eligible for additional Unsubsidized federal loan funds:

• Freshman and sophomore: Additional $4,000 ($2000/semester)
• Junior and senior: Additional $5,000 ($2500/semester)

The maximum loan amount is the calculated cost of education minus all financial aid.**
**If awarded Federal Work-Study, it will reduce the amount approved by the school in the PLUS loan. It is recommended the student declines the Work-Study award if not working so as to allow the maximum eligibility in the PLUS loan.
