Dependent students whose parent(s) are unable to borrow PLUS Loans due to adverse credit or other exceptional circumstances may be considered for additional Unsubsidized Direct Loan funds in the same amount as an independent undergraduate student.

Do not submit this form until after your parent(s) has been declined a Direct PLUS Loan as a result of completing the PLUS request at Studentaid.gov.

My parent was declined a Direct PLUS Loan for the current academic period of enrollment (such as, Fall 2023/Spring 2024, Summer 2024 or Fall 2024/Spring 2025). Please consider my request for an additional unsubsidized loan.  I understand I must meet all federal eligibility guidelines.  I understand I cannot receive federal student loans in excess of the published loan limits, both annual and lifetime, based on my career and grade level.  I also understand my obligation to repay my student loans.
