For information regarding using these funds for summer school, please see the summer financial aid page.

Apply online through any participating lender. TCU's lender recommendations are listed below. Unless you are not satisfied with the service you receive, you should choose the same lender for each loan you borrow while enrolled in school. Federal law states that a borrower may choose any lender participating in the FFELP program for a federal loan.

How do I choose a lender?

This loan is available for the parents (natural or adoptive parent, or the spouse of a parent whose information is included on the FAFSA) of dependent undergraduate students only. FAFSA is required, and students will be offered Stafford loan eligibility before additional loans will be certified. The maximum of the PLUS loan is TCU's cost of attendance minus other financial aid. PLUS loans have an 8.5% fixed simple interest rate. Interest accrues immediately; most lenders offer forbearance of the loan while the student is enrolled at least half time. The lender you choose will check your credit for eligibility. We recommend that you electronically sign (e-sign) your loan application.

A credit denial on the PLUS loan may create additional Stafford loan eligibility for the student. Contact Financial Aid Office for details.
