A parent whose student has applied for financial aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must submit the following to apply for a PLUS loan:
1) a completed Master Promissory Note; and
2) our Certification Document. 09-10 Certification
Complete PLUS MPN with U.S. Department of Education (Direct Loan)
Complete PLUS MPN with Bank Lender (FFELP Loan)
If you have been pre-approved for a PLUS loan outside of PSU, please complete the Certification Document and submit a copy of your completed Master Promissory Note to our office.
If your student did not apply for financial aid, you must also complete the Statement of Educational Purpose (SEP) for the appropriate academic year (09/10 SEP), and return this form to our office along with the Master Promissory Note and the Certification Document.
NOTE: While it is not a requirement that the student complete the FAFSA to be eligible for a PLUS loan, we do recommend that the student apply. The student may have eligibility; and if the PLUS loan is denied after pre-approval, the student will then be eligible for additional loan funds. These additional funds are not available without a completed FAFSA.
