A PLUS loan can help a student secure additional loan funding above what they have received with the student loans.

In order to qualify for the under-graduate Parent PLUS loan, the student must complete the entire financial aid process, including turning in all required paperwork. It is recommended that a student take the subsidized and/or unsubsidized loans out before the PLUS loan is certified, as they tend to have lower interest rates, though it is not mandatory.

The PLUS loan application must be completed by the parent borrower. Parents must have their own verified Federal Student Aid identification number.
