WILLIAM D. FORD DIRECT PARENT PLUS LOAN PROGRAM
Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students, also known as PLUS loans, are low-interest education loans that allow parents to fund the cost of their child’s education. A federal PLUS Loan allows eligible parents to borrow up to 100 percent of the estimated cost of your student’s college attendance, including student tuition, room and board, student books, transportation and additional expenses, minus any other financial assistance awarded to the student.

ALTERNATIVE/PRIVATE LOAN PROGRAMS
Private Education Loans, also known as Alternative Education Loans, help bridge the gap between the actual cost of your education and the limited amount the government allows you to borrow in its loan programs. Private loans are offered by private lenders and are not part of any federal financial aid program. Hanover College encourages students and their parents to utilize their federal loan eligibility before considering additional funding through private/alternative programs.
