v     What is a PLUS Loan?

Parents must complete and submit a separate PLUS Master Promissory Note (MPN) to initiate the loan process.  The PLUS MPN is similar to the Stafford, including its use for multiple loans for the same borrower.  The PLUS MPN is valid for loans made for a single dependent student.  To obtain loans for another dependent student, the parent must complete a separate PLUS MPN.  Contact the lender or our TU Financial Aid website for an application and pre-approval. 

A processing fee will be deducted from the loan proceeds.  Federal PLUS loans are made in two disbursements copayable with the University.  At least one-half of the loan period must elapse before the second installment can be disbursed.  If your funding comes by check, it will be mailed to the parent for endorsement and must be returned to the University.  The amount will be credited to the student's account and any excess will be refunded to the parent.  If your funds are received by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), the money will be directly applied to the student account, and any excess will be refunded to the parent.  Federal PLUS repayment begins immediately after it has been fully disbursed.
