How to Apply for a Federal Parent PLUS Loan

Federal Parent PLUS Loan

  1. The borrowing parent should complete the Federal PLUS Request Form and return it to the GCC Financial Aid Office.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and select a lender. The lender choice must be the same lender that the borrower submitted on the Federal PLUS Request Form. If a different lender is chosen, the PLUS loan cannot be processed until the GCC Financial Aid Office is contacted and one lender is declared.
  3. Follow the instructions on the lender's web site for the PLUS application. If parents do not pass the credit check, they should contact GCC's Financial Aid Office to discuss various alternative loan opportunities.
  4. If parents do not want to borrow through one of our five preferred lenders, they must contact the lender to determine the procedure for filling out and submitting the MPN.
  5. Parents can request a paper MPN from their lender if they are unable to fill one out on- line. The MPN is then returned to the lender for processing. We strongly recommend that all processing takes place on-line for faster distribution of the loan proceeds.
