Parent Loans
Many parents choose alternative loans to help supplement other forms of financial assistance. These loans are available to any interested parent, and approval is based on credit history.
PLUS Loans have an 8.5 percent fixed interest rate, and the loan may carry up to 3 percent in fees. Parents have up to 10 years to repay the loan.
