What student loan options do parents have?

The Student Loan Network, for more than ten years, has helped students and families like you get information and access to the funding you need for higher education. We'll help you get started with our free college scholarships program, Scholarship Points, and our college scholarship search site, Student Scholarship Search.

After you have exhausted all resources searching for scholarships, it's time to apply for federal student loans such as the Stafford loan and PLUS loan. For more detailed information on the PLUS Loan, view rates, benefits and FAQs. If federal financial aid and scholarships aren't enough, you can investigate private student loans, which are non-need based, credit-based loans for students.

Federal PLUS Loans as an Alternative Option

The Federal PLUS Loan provides parents with an alternative option for paying for their child's education. The benefits of the PLUS loan include a low fixed rate and favorable repayment terms. Some parents do not like the fact the the loan is in the parents name and therefore look for other options. Compare student loans and make sure you choose the right loan for your needs.

Graduate students can apply for a Graduate PLUS loan to cover tuition, books, supplies, housing expenses and more.
