2019 Summer - ADDITIONAL Loan Request Due to Parent PLUS Denial
Submit this form ONLY if our office has notified you of a Parent PLUS Denial
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan - This type of loan is different from the subsidized loan in that you are
responsible for the interest as it accrues while you are in school. However, you may defer payment of
both interest and principle until you leave school or fall below half-time enrollment.
Maximum Federal Borrowing Limits
**** Please take note of the following maximum federal borrowing limits for each class level and
student status. These limits are effective for the 12 month academic year beginning Fall Semester, and
continuing through Spring Semester and Summer Semester. If you borrow the full yearly amount during
fall and spring, then attend in the summer, you will not have any loan funds left over. Loan funds are
awarded separately for summer for those students who attend. A Summer Aid Request Form goes
online on the Financial Aid website shortly after spring break of each academic year and must be
submitted before this request will be reviewed.
Addit’l Unsub / PLUS DENIAL
Freshman (less than 30 earned hours) 3,500
Sophomore (earned between 30-59 hours) 4,500
Junior or Senior (earned 60 hours or more) 5,500
Our office will initially offer the maximum loan eligibility left for summer, per your grade
level, at the time the awards are made. This form is an automatic acceptance of the
additional funds as indicated and can only be cancelled or reduced with a written request
from the student or a detailed email from your TTU email account. However, if you receive
additional awards or stop attending class after the acceptance of any portion of your loan,
our office has the right to reduce the loan according to federal regulations for need-based aid
and the student’s total cost of attendance (https://www.tntech.edu/financialaid/cost ) for
the academic year.
