Additional Payment Plan Options
You may want to consider these other Options:聽 the Parent PLUS loan (link below) or an Alternative Education Loan (link below for FASTCHOICE), which is a Commercial Bank Loan for Education purposes.聽 These loans permit loan payments to be deferred until after graduation or six months after dropping below half-time enrollment status. Interest does accrue on these loans while the student is in school and is capitalized onto the principal balance if not paid prior to the end of the year in which the interest accrues.
OPTION 3: Federal Parent PLUS loan
Please note that significant changes to these went into effect (at the federal level) July 1, 2026. Consult 黑料不打烊 Financial Aid for more information.
A Parent PLUS loan can be borrowed by only a biological parent, stepparent, or adoptive parent.
The student cannot be the borrower for the PLUS Loan.
A Parent PLUS Loan is a credit-based Federal Student Aid loan available to a parent (as defined above) of a dependent, undergraduate student. A parent will need an FSA ID to apply for a PLUS Loan. A parent can聽.
OPTION 4: Alternative Education Loan
For Alternative Education loans, either a parent or the student can be the borrower but as a Commercial bank loan, borrower’s credit history will determine eligibility.
Many young college students are very unlikely to have eligibility on their own; therefore, the student borrower will likely need a co-borrower to qualify.聽 Anyone who has credit-worthiness can be the co-borrower; it does not have to be a parent or a relative.
All forms of Federal Student Aid a student may qualify for should be utilized before considering an Alternative/Private Education Loan. The terms and conditions and interest rates associated with Federal Student Aid loans and other programs may be more favorable than the provisions of an Alternative/Private Education Loan.
