***Although it is sometimes necessary to borrow money to finance an education, caution is advised. Generally, a student should not rely primarily on loans and is advised not to borrow more than what is needed to meet expenses. ***

Federal Plus Loan:
-
Federal PLUS Loans are for parents to assist with payment of education expenses for sons and daughters. These loans provide additional funds for education expenses and are not need-based. Funds are provided by the Dept. of Education. Each year parents may borrow up to the cost of education less financial aid (provided that the student has submitted the current academic year's FAFSA). Repayment for PLUS Loans will begin 60 days after the last disbursement.

Loan disbursements will be delayed for 30 days from the beginning of the term for Freshmen / first-time borrowers (this does not apply to the Parent PLUS loan). Loan funds will remain on the student's account but will not be disbursed until the delay date and will be canceled if the student withdraws or otherwise becomes ineligible before the disbursement date.
