TIP #3


Pursue Federal Graduate PLUS Loans next:

Pursue Federal Graduate PLUS loans next. The PLUS loan is available to Graduate students to help pay for education expenses. This Federal loan has a fixed 8.5% interest rate and also offers the Federal protections of the Stafford loan program. (Interest paid on Federal loans may also be tax-deductible.) You must pass a basic credit check, but the check looks for adverse credit history only and is not based on FICO score.

Most Graduate students are eligible for the Federal PLUS loan. If you find that you are unable to qualify, however, there are many private alternative education loans available. Please click here for more information.
