How much can I borrow with a Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan?

The Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan can help you pay for the difference between your Cost of Attendance (COA) and any other financial aid you've received.

Example: If your COA is $30,000 and you've received $20,000 in other aid, you could borrow up to $10,000 with a Grad PLUS Loan.

UMGC will offer you either $10,000 or the difference between your COA and other aid, whichever is less. You can also request a lower amount if you don't need the full loan.

You can find more details about the Grad PLUS Loan program on the Federal Student Aid website.
