Graduate PLUS Loans

   

 

Graduate PLUS Loan


The Graduate Loan allows a graduate student to borrow any amount up to the student’s cost of attendance minus all financial aid the student may receive for the enrollment period. The interest rate is a fixed rate of 8.5% for any loans disbursed after July 1, 2006. The PLUS loans have a 3% origination fee and a guarantee fee of 1%. However, most guarantee agencies waive the guarantee fee. Repayment begins within 60 days after the final disbursement for the loan period and the interest starts accruing at the time of the first disbursement.

Students that have taken advantage of a Graduate PLUS Master Promissory Note before, can apply for a future loan by completing the Master Promissory Note Renewal (MPR) form. The MPR form is valid only for increasing an existing Federal Graduate Plus Loan amount, it allows a student to request additional funds from a previous Plus Master Promissory Note only.
