I took out a parent plus loan for my son in about 2017. The loan has been sold to another company. Nelnet company. 7500 is the amount. What can I do?

This can happen when a loan servicer is no longer administrating a loan. Your loan will be transferred to a new loan servicer. Nothing to do, but to start communicating with your new loan servicer and arranging a repayment plan.

I have a question (that is killing me). Can you apply for a second, another parent plus loan, for the same student for the same academic year? I applied and I was granted the loan during late July. And all of it was disbursed right before classes (Fall). But, because of some financial problems and the small financial aid package my daughter got, I may need a loan for Spring. Is it possible? I'd appreciate it if anybody knows.

THANK YOU! Even though you made this in 2019, you helped explain A LOT to me in planning for college. Question: When you said “Don’t take out more than you need”. There is a question I have had regarding what I can use for the Federal loans. Do you have a video that covers that? Thank you!

So basically take out a loan when you’re in your 40s and 50s and then working till you’re 120 so your kids can finish college that’s OK I’m not interested 😂😂😂

When I went to school 5 yrs ago, The government wouldn’t give me the loan by myself and required a parent plus loan. I literally had no choice other than private loans at higher rates and those loans don’t have repayment plans unlike the government

Thanks so much for the advice you provided me a few days ago regarding this parent plus loan with summer courses. I contacted my daughter's financial counselor and she steered me in a good direction. However, I have a question that stems from experience. I am being asked in the Summer application for financial assistance if I would need a plus direct loan. My question is.... Do colleges/universities offer more grants/aid if you indicate you are planning to supplement any cost with the direct plus loan? (Because the parent plus long/short term or any kind of loan is your problem.) OR, if you simply DO NOT say anything (which is ok; it is just collecting information). My rationale is that it may drive the college to provide you a better package. (For this matter, FAFSA is already done and submitted, and Direct Plus Loan is separate)

Good night. I am seeking responses to these specific questions I have. I have been watching videos for quite long days, searching in FAFSA StudentAid, etc., but still not. So any help will be much appreciated. I am not unfamiliar with Direct Plus Loan. Actually, my daughter is in her second semester. I do already have a parent plus loan for the 2022-23 academic year. Then, my questions are: 1) My daughter would like to go do some credits during the summer and signed up for 3 classes. Then, does the parent plus loan, will cover summer classes? I simply can't pay for such classes "a la carte" (3 courses for around $15k). Then, I reviewed the steps of my application last year, and the options are the ongoing academic year (2022-23), the next academic year (2023-24), or the loan period, which apparently you can pick. So my question is: Can this loan be given or requested to cover a short period (summer only)? During summer, although you may want, students won't be able to do the same number of credits they do in a semester FT. Are there any restrictions on that? Is it possible? 2) Then, my second question, which is contingent on the first one..... I will definitely need a parent plus loan for the Fall-Spring 2023-24 year. So, can I request one (1) parent plus loan (which will be smaller) for the summer courses (if it happens to be possible); AND, a second parent plus loan for the standard academic year? Or not? I can't find responses anywhere, so any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Good night! Thank you for asking. Great questions. All financial aid years are from July 1 to June 30, which is directly connected to which FAFSA year you completed for funding. 1. Your student should contact her school to determine which FAFSA form she should complete for funding for summer school - as it’s dependent on the summer months enrolled. Your student does not have to take FT credit hours. 2. Your students school can direct you on how to apply for a parent plus loan for the summer months. So bottom line your main point of contact is your students’ financial aid office. They can direct you on how to get funding for summer courses.

@Paid4College Thanks so much for your response. Now I have the picture less foggy. But, another question comes to mind. Is it possible to request/apply for more than one parent plus loan---for the same student and for the same academic period?? Please let me know any info on this regard that you can share with me. Thanks!!

Is the parent plus loan start paying every month? or does it wait until after the student graduate?
@paid4college
@paid4college Жыл бұрын
A parent can start paying towards the loan while the student is enrolled. They can also wait till after the student graduates or is no longer enrolled but please note interest is accruing the entire time you have the loan. It does not wait.

Can I start to pay the loan as soon as we get it? So that I am paying it as my child goes, or is it better to just pay upfront as I go? I may be able to do that. Not sure if I am making sense. Who do you talk to about the discretionary pay back forgiveness? Also, retired law enforcement-would that quality under public service?

Congratulations! What an exciting time. Im so glad to hear it was help. If your student for example, is enrolling in August, it’s best to accept two weeks prior. Parent Plus Loans are a federal government aid, so you would need to log in to your account on studentaid.gov to accept. There is no wait period. The school will be notified and disbursement to the school will be scheduled. Many school will not allow the student to move-in (if staying on campus) until there is a plan on the balance. It’s best to do before arriving on campus to avoid any barriers.
