A Direct PLUS Loan is a low-interest rate loan to help parents pay for their child's education beyond high school. The U.S. Department of Education is the lender, not a bank or a credit union. Direct PLUS Loan funds are usually applied directly to your child's school account. A Direct PLUS Loan is not a grant or scholarship; therefore, you must repay the money received. Parents can borrow a Direct PLUS Loan for their child if he or she is a "dependent student."
Numerous private scholarship opportunities exist from companies and philanthropic organizations.
Alternative educational loans are non-federal loans available from a variety of national lending institutions. Minimums and maximums vary for these loan programs but all require a satisfactory credit history.
