Borrowing Plans

Below, you will have two options for borrowing: Maximize or Customize. Please read the descriptions below to determine which option is best for you.

Maximize

You are authorizing the Financial Aid Office to process you loans for the selected Academic Year to maximize your opportunity to borrow the maximum Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. You need to be aware that this will result in equal disbursements for each semester and that you are responsible for managing any refund received to pay your expenses throughout the academic year.

Example Disbursement

Summer - $10,250
Fall - $10,250
Spring - $10,250

Customize

You do not wish to borrow the maximum Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Instead, you wish to borrow a specific amount for the summer semester in the Academic Year chosen above. Please be aware that this will result in unequal disbursements of your loan.

PLUS Loan Borrowing

If you plan to borrow a Federal Grad PLUS Loan, please be aware that you will need to complete a separate PLUS application for both Fall and Spring. You will have to request Fall Only and Spring Only since we are processing Summer Loans for you.

Based on the information above, please choose a borrowing option to proceed.

Maximize

Customize

Based on your choice to Customize, please enter the amount of loan funding - up to $10,250 - that you would you like us to disburse for your chosen Summer semester

REMEMBER:

Loans borrowed for the Summer will affect your aggregate eligibility for the following Fall term. Graduate students needing additional funding to help cover expenses are recommended to apply for a Federal Direct Graduate PLUS (Grad PLUS) Loan after May 1 at https://studentaid.gov.

Anticipated fees for Summer 2025 include a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan charge of a 1.057% fee and the Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan charge of a 4.228% fee at the time of disbursement. Please keep this information in mind when deciding on your requested loan amount for Summer 2025.

Students must provide the Financial Aid Office with their requested loan amount for Summer 2025 by completing this form in full along with submitting a valid 2025-2026 FAFSA.Otherwise, your Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan will not be certified for the Summer.
