Graduate Student Plus Loans

Lender Information

The Grad PLUS Loan will help bridge the gap between the financial aid awarded a student and their cost of attendance. The Grad PLUS loan has a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and can be consolidated with federal Stafford and Perkins loans upon graduation. Unlike the federal Stafford and Perkins loans, however, the Grad PLUS loan requires a credit approval and charges a 4% origination fee.
