What is a Parent Plus Loan?

Parent PLUS Loans are federal loans that are available to the parents of dependent undergraduate students. The loan amount is based on the cost of attendance, minus any other financial aid that the student is receiving. Parent PLUS Loans have a fixed interest rate and can be paid back over the course of ten years.

In order to apply for a Parent PLUS Loan, the parent must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If the parent is approved for the loan, they will then need to sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and complete an entrance counseling session. The loan funds will be disbursed directly to the student’s school, and the parent will be responsible for making payments on the loan.

If you are a parent of a dependent undergraduate student and you are interested in taking out a Parent PLUS Loan, there are a few things that you should know. First, Parent PLUS Loans have a fixed interest rate of 7.08%. This means that your interest rate will not change over the course of your repayment period. Additionally, you will be responsible for paying any origination fees associated with your loan.

Parent PLUS Loans also have a grace period of six months, which means that you will not be required to begin making payments on your loan until six months after your child graduates or drops below half-time enrollment. However, if you choose to defer your payments, interest will accrue during this time.

Finally, it’s important to note that Parent PLUS Loans are not eligible for consolidation or income-based repayment plans. This means that you will be required to pay off your entire loan balance within ten years. If you are having trouble making your payments, you may want to consider contacting your lender about alternative repayment options.

How to Apply for a Parent Plus Loan

If you’re a parent of a dependent undergraduate student and you want to help them pay for college, you can apply for a Parent PLUS loan. This type of loan is issued by the federal government and has to be repaid, with interest. To apply, you’ll need to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form and then complete a PLUS loan application.

Here’s an overview of the steps you’ll need to take to apply for a Parent PLUS loan:

1. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. You’ll need your and your child’s federal tax return from the previous year as well as other financial information.

2. Once you’ve completed the FAFSA form, the school your child is attending will send you information about the types of aid they’re eligible for, including Parent PLUS loans.

3. If you decide to apply for a Parent PLUS loan, you’ll need to complete a PLUS loan application. You can do this online at StudentLoans.gov or by filling out a paper form that you’ll get from your child’s school.

4. After your application has been processed, you’ll receive information about the amount of money you’re eligible to borrow as well as the interest rate and repayment terms. If you’re approved for the loan, you’ll need to sign a promissory note agreeing to repay the money you borrow.

How to Accept a Parent Plus Loan

The first step is to fill out and submit the Federal Direct PLUS Loan Application at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.

Once you have completed the Federal Direct PLUS Loan Application, you will be directed to a Master Promissory Note (MPN) for the PLUS loan. The MPN is a legal document in which you promise to repay your loan and any accrued interest and fees to the Department of Education. It also explains the terms and conditions of your loan.

If you have been credit approved, you will need to complete the PLUS Credit Counseling Session at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa before your loan can be disbursed (paid out).

If you are not credit approved, or if you choose not to complete the PLUS credit counseling, another person can apply for a Parent PLUS loan on your behalf. This person is called an endorser. The endorser may also need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.

After you (or your endorser) have completed the MPN, we will contact your school about disbursing (paying out) your Parent PLUS loan funds.

How to Repay a Parent Plus Loan

Parent PLUS loans are federal loans that parents can take out to help pay for their child’s undergraduate education. The loan is taken out in the parent’s name, and the parent is responsible for repayment.

If you’re the parent of a college student and you’ve been approved for a Parent PLUS loan, you’ll need to decide how to repay the loan. You have a few different options:

-You can make payments while your child is in school.
-You can defer payments until after your child graduates or leaves school.
-You can consolidate your Parent PLUS loans with other student loan debt into a single loan with one monthly payment.

If you’re having trouble making payments on your Parent PLUS loan, there are several options available to help you:

-You can contact your loan servicer to discuss repayment options.
-You can apply for an income-driven repayment plan.
-You can defer your payments or forbear from making payments temporarily if you’re experiencing financial hardship.
