Applicants may borrow up to the entire cost of education through this program.
If a parent is unable to borrow a Direct PLUS Loan due to exceptional circumstances, they may complete the PLUS Loan Eligibility Waiver form to request that the student receive increased Direct Loan funding equal to that of an independent student ($4000 for Freshmen or Sophomores, $5000 for Juniors or Seniors). Approval is determined based on documentation of exceptional circumstances.
