Parent PLUS loansParents of dependent students may borrow Parent PLUS loans. If your parents are credit denied for the Parent PLUS loan, your parent can appeal the credit decision by documenting extenuating circumstances to the lender (federal government) or secure a credit worthy endorser (co-signer). Your parents can contact the U.S. Department of Education PLUS Credit Appeal line at 800-557-7394 for more information. If your parents are unable to find a credit worthy endorser or appeal the denial of their credit decision, you can submit a
request for additional student Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans.
Private education student loansIf you are in need of additional funding, you may apply for a private education student loan. Private loans are subject to credit approval and may be denied. If you are unable to qualify on your own, you can secure a credit worthy co-signer. You apply directly with the lender of your choice; ASU does not recommend lenders. The interest rate is determined by the lender. Please visit
