federal direct parent plus loan
The Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan is a low-interest loan that allows a parent of a dependent student to assist in paying for the student's college education. Since a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan is a non-need loan, it represents a viable borrowing option for the parent, regardless of the student's federally determined financial need.
Since the borrower of a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan is the parent of the student, the parent-borrower must successfully complete the application process before K-State may disburse a Parent PLUS Loan to the student.
