Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan
The Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan is for graduate/professional students who are interested in federal financing in addition to the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Graduate PLUS Loans are available to credit-worthy U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens. To process a loan, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and apply for a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan. The amount you are eligible to borrow is determined by the total cost of your educational program less the amount you receive from the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford loan and other financial aid.
