I understand and am aware of my current aggregate loans and request to borrow additional unsubsidized student loan funds:
$2,000 additional unsubsidized, or $________________ (enter the total additional loan amount you are requesting for the academic year)
I am requesting additional loan funds because:
I am a dependent student whose parent(s) were denied a Federal Parent PLUS loan (FA Office must have copy of denial)
I am an independent student who would like to request additional loan funds (explain need below)
I have additional need (provide an explanation below of the need for the increased loan amount)
Reason for need for additional loan: ____________________________________________________________________________
• Students must be enrolled at least half time (six credits) to receive student loan funds.
• Maximum amounts of subsidized and unsubsidized loans awarded depend on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), your Cost of Attendance, and other financial awards you receive as well as annual and
aggregate limits listed above.
• The amount of your total Fall and/or Spring loans will affect the amount of loan eligibility left for summer classes.
• In addition to interest rates, loans have origination fees proportionately deducted from each loan disbursement. To see the most current
information regarding student loan interest rates and any potential fees assessed, please visit
StudentAid.gov.
• If you are a first-time borrower on or after July 1, 2013, there is a limit on the maximum period of time (measured in academic years) that you
can receive Direct Subsidized Loans. This time limit does not apply to Direct Unsubsidized Loans or Direct PLUS Loans. If this limit applies to
you, you may not receive Direct Subsidized Loans for more than 150 percent of the length of your degree. This is called your “maximum
eligibility period.” Your maximum eligibility period is based on the published length of your current program. You can usually find the published
length of any program of study in EWC’s Catalog.
o For example, if you are enrolled in a two-year associate degree program, the maximum period for which you can receive Direct
Subsidized Loans is three years (150 percent of 2 years = 3 years). Because your maximum eligibility period is based on the length of
your current program of study, your maximum eligibility period can change if you switch to a program that has a different length. Also,
if you receive Direct Subsidized Loans for one program and then change to another program, the Direct Subsidized Loans you received
for the earlier program will generally count toward your new maximum eligibility period.
• After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you will have a six-month grace period before you are required to begin
repayment. During this period, you'll receive repayment information from your loan servicer, and you will be notified of your first payment due
date. Payments are usually due monthly. Find your total loan balance and loan servicer information at:
StudentAid.gov
