The Federal College Work-Study program enables students who demonstrate financial need to work on campus or for other nonprofit organizations. These part-time jobs are secured through the Office of Financial Aid.

PLUS Loans are for parent borrowers. The PLUS Loan program enables parents to borrow an amount equal to the cost of education minus any financial aid. The maximum interest is 9% for PLUS.
Direct Student Loan
The Direct Student Loan program enables students to secure loans from participating lenders at an interest rate that is capped at 8.25%. A student may borrow $3,500 as a freshman, $4,500 as a sophomore, and $5,500 as a junior and/or senior. Loan repayment begins six months after the student graduates, leaves school, or drops below half-time status.
Students are not required to demonstrate financial need to qualify for the unsubsidized Direct Student Loan; however, they will be responsible for interest that accrues during and after school attendance.
