91èÏÈÉú participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP). The U.S. Department of Education, through thisÌýprogram, offers parents of dependent children attending an undergraduate school a loan to help pay educational expenses. This federal parent loan is the Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students, or Direct PLUS loan.Ìý

The Direct PLUSÌýloan has a fixed interest rate with an optional one quarter percent (0.25%) interest rate reduction when payments are made automatically from a bank account. Your PLUS loan would be managed by a loan servicer contracted to administer these loans.ÌýYour loan will not be sold or transferred to another company.

Direct PLUS loan applications are processed by the financial aidÌýoffice at 91èÏÈÉú.ÌýWe receive the application from the U.S. Department of Education, monitor the signing of the promissory note, record the loan onto the student's records and we disburse the funds onto the student's college bill.
