Parents of Students—Want to know the BEST way to pay for college expenses? *

Federal PLUS (Parent Loans) is the easy, affordable way for parents to borrow up to the total cost of college attendance. PLUS Loans are not a need-based loan — almost everyone qualifies for this federally insured program.

Parent Loans are available year round—even if you have already paid this semester’s expenses, you can still get a PLUS loan to “reimburse” yourself.

Begin the Application Process

Credit cards, 401k, Home Equity Line of credit are typical sources for college funding, but they are not the BEST way to pay.

Every year, many parents are faced with the dilema of rising college costs. Don’t get trapped wondering how you’ll be able to afford tuition, cost of attendance, or even the new computer! Apply for a PLUS Loan with NextStudent today.

* Please be aware that while we continue to offer Private Student Loans and Private Consolidation Loans, NextStudent is not currently able to accept any new PLUS, Grad PLUS, Stafford, or Federal Consolidation Loan applications.

On October 1, 2007, legislation went into effect that cut $21 billion in subsidies to FFELP lenders like NextStudent. We have been searching, and continue to search, for avenues that would allow us to keep offering FFELP loans. But at this point, until market and regulatory conditions change, we find ourselves forced to suspend our federal education loan programs.

We value your business, and we want to make sure you’re able to get the money you need to pay for school. We encourage you to take advantage of college scholarships and your available federal financing options. But if you’re still in need of a parent or student loan, please give us a call, and we’ll do what we can to help.
