Is anyone familiar with how to apply for a Grad PLUS loan via the Direct Loan program? My school participates in the Direct Loan program for all federal loans (Sub/Unsub Stafford), so I'd like to stick with that if at all possible. For those not familiar with it, it basically means that I am taking out my loans directly from the government - i.e. I'll be sending my checks into the Department of Education when I enter repayment, not Chase or BofA etc.
I've done a search online but have not been able to find the application itself. I came across one for Cornell, and it looked like a school specific application - like the school is replacing the bank as an intermediary, which makes me think that I may need to get an application from my school, too. In any case, I will be going into my Financial Aid office next week (I already emailed them a few days ago with no response), but since I am stuck without answers for the weekend, I thought I would check with you all.
Thanks!
