Federal Direct Graduate-PLUS
The William D. Ford Federal Direct Grad-PLUS loan is available to graduate and professional degree students. These loans are not based on need but when combined with other resources, cannot exceed the student’s cost of education. The student must complete the FAFSA and a credit check is required. Repayment begins within 60 days of final disbursement of the loan. However, students may request deferment of payments while attending at least half time.
