The Federal PLUS Loan Program (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students) is part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Federal PLUS Loans for parents provide assistance in meeting undergraduate educational cost for dependent students.
Regardless of financial need, any parent of an undergraduate student can apply.
Highlights of the program:
• Low interest rate
• Flexible repayment terms(no prepayment penalties)
• Interest paid may qualify for a tax deduction
• Easy to apply
The lenders listed here have been selected based on past experience and qualifications. They offer excellent service and benefits to their borrowers. In addition, these lenders (and many others) work with our guarantor, TG (Texas Guaranteed) in the EFT (electronic fund transfer) process. You are free to choose ANY lender that participates in the FFEL program even if they are not on this list. If you select a non-TG lender, you may be required to submit a paper application.
If you have borrowed previously, we suggest you consider remaining with that lender or another lender that works with your same servicer. If you do select a different lender or servicer, be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of your decision.
The Financial Aid Office will strive to process your loan quickly and accurately regardless of the lender you choose.
