How much can I borrow using a Parent PLUS loan?

With a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan, you can borrow up to the cost of attendance (COA) minus any other financial aid your student receives for the academic year. UMGC will calculate the final eligible loan amount before processing.

Note: An origination fee will be deducted from the loan before the funds are disbursed.
