Federal Parent PLUS Loan Program: Eligibility, Limits, And Repayment

Federal Parent PLUS loans are available to parents to supplement their dependent children’s financial aid package. The Parent PLUS Loan interest rate – effective for loan funds disbursed after July 1, 2006 – is 8.5 percent. Studentloans.com offers valuable borrower benefits on federal student loans, which can reduce this rate.

Each year, parents can borrow up to the student’s cost of education, minus any other financial aid received. Repayment of Federal Parent PLUS loans begins within 60 days of full disbursement. Parent PLUS borrowers can choose to defer repayment while the student remains enrolled in school at least half-time.
