Lawrence Tech recommends that a student complete the FAFSA first; consider the Federal Direct Loan and/or Federal Direct PLUS loan offered which may have more attractive borrower benefits than most alternative loans.
Parents of dependent students and graduate students may want to consider the Federal Direct PLUS Loan which also might have a lower interest rate and more attractive borrower benefits than most alternative loans. In the event the PLUS (for dependent students only) is denied for credit reasons, the student would have the option to apply for an additional Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan as replacement. We recommend exhausting federal student loan options prior to seeking an alternative loan.
