Welcome, Hope parents.
We realize that parents are highly involved
in their students' lives, especially regarding college finances. In addition

*Parents may request a repayment deferrment of principal
or principal and interest while the student for whom they borrowed the
loan maintains at least half time enrollment during the fall and spring
semesters. If interest is deferred it continues to accrue and will be
capatalized (added to the loan balance) at repayment. Parents do not
receive a 6 month grace period after the student is no longer enrolled
half time to begin repayment as the students do with their loans.
The deferment option is not automatic as it is for student
loans. PLUS borrowers must request a repayment deferment in one of two
ways:
1) If your student has an active Federal Direct Loan
you may call Direct Loan Servicing at 800-848-0979.
2) If your student currently does not have an active
loan you must obtain enrollment verification from the Registrar's
Office
and submit it with your written deferment request to U.S. Department
of Education Direct Loan Servicing Center, PO Box 5609, Greenville, TX
75403-5609.
