There is an “apply now” button under each loan listed that will take you to the application of the loan you select. Check if there are fees on the loan you select and be sure to add this to the amount you wish to borrow.  Parent PLUS Loan – If your parent plans to borrow, have them go to studentloans.gov and sign in with their FSA ID and complete the parent PLUS Loan process. There is a 4.276% fee on parent PLUS loans. This fee needs to be calculated in the amount borrowed. Check here if your parents are borrowing for a travel course and the amount: ______Yes my parent plans to borrow the parent PLUS Loan ______Amount my parent plans to borrow for travel course</p><p>NOTE: If you borrow a Federal Parent PLUS Loan or an alternative loan for school, you will be required to borrow a separate loan for travel. We will not be able to certify a Travel Course loan until we receive meal plan refund information from the Business Office and Henry Olson winners, which is usually the end of September and your balance for fall is due the end of August. If the loan has been guaranteed/approved by the lender, and you need to register (loan disbursement is not here), I can confirm with the Business Office that the loan has been approved. The Business Office will then have you sign a promissory note and you will be able to register for the Travel Course. This is only if the loan has been approved by the lender.</p><p>Turn this form into the Office of Financial Assistance to increase your budget by the cost of the Interim Travel Course. Otherwise, you may not be eligible for more loan. </p>
