Federal PLUS Loans (also referred to as Parent Loans) are available
to parents of dependent undergraduate students who are enrolled at least
half-time as well as to graduate and professional degree students. Financial
need is not a requirement.
PLUS Loans are unsubsidized meaning the borrower is responsible for interest that
accrues once the loan is disbursed to the college.
Students or parents can request a loan for up to the full cost of attendance
minus any other financial aid.
The borrower must have good credit.
