Parent Loan Information

This loan program offers non-need based loans to assist parents of dependent students. For loans disbursed after July 1, 2022, the interest rate is fixed at 7.54%. The maximum Parent PLUS amount that may be borrowed equals the difference between the cost of attendance and any other financial aid the student is receiving. In no case may the Federal Parent PLUS loan exceed a student's cost of attendance minus estimated financial assistance. These loans are subject to a credit review. Once the online promissory note is completed, Roanoke College will certify the student's expenses.
