PLUS loans

PLUS loans are available to two groups: parents of undergraduate students and graduate or professional students. The loan's maximum amount is variable and can be increased to cover up to 100 percent of the cost of attendance. It is a cost-effective alternative to using retirement accounts, income, savings, or home equity loans to fund your or your child's education.
