We begin processing applications for the upcoming school year in June.
Students who are interested in borrowing a Direct Graduate PLUS Loan may complete the Direct PLUS Request Process at www.studentloans.gov. Student borrowers will be able to do the following:
- Complete a Direct PLUS application.
- Receive an instant credit decision.
- Appeal the credit check decision during the application process.
- Complete the Federal Direct PLUS Master Promissory Note (MPN) (new borrowers only).
- Have an endorser co-sign an application.
We strongly recommend that you complete the Direct Graduate PLUS application process online at www.studentloans.gov, as this will significantly speed up processing of your loan. New borrowers must also complete an MPN at www.studentloans.gov. Borrowers should be aware that their loan will be submitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and will be accessible by authorized agencies, lenders, and institutions.
