Graduate PLUS Loan Request


This form is only for Langone Part-Time MBA students who are legacy borrowers.

If you are a Stern graduate student in another program, please email fin-aid@stern.nyu.edu to request a PLUS Loan. If you are a Langone Part-Time MBA student who does not have legacy status, you can apply for a private student loan. Our website includes a list of private lenders that Stern students have borrowed from in recent years, and NYU provides a Preferred Lender List.

Eligibility & Requirements:

  • Must have a valid FAFSA on file.
  • Must meet federal eligibility requirements.
  • Must maintain a minimum of 4.5 credits each semester to remain eligible for federal student loans (including Federal Direct Unsubsidized and Graduate PLUS Loans).

Enrollment Changes:

  • If you reduce your credits, your loan(s) will be adjusted. 
  • If you increase your credits and would like to borrow an additional Graduate PLUS Loan, submit a new form.
  • You must notify our office if your enrollment changes.

Borrowing Details & Deadlines:

  • Students enrolled in 9 credits or more may borrow up to their Cost of Attendance, minus any other financial aid received.
  • Students enrolled in fewer than 9 credits: your federal financial aid must be prorated based on your enrollment. In these cases, you will not receive your full Cost of Attendance, as your Graduate PLUS Loan amount will be prorated. 
  • Loans can be borrowed for fall, winter/spring, and summer semesters (a form must be submitted every semester).
  • Review loan information (interest rates and origination fees) before submitting.
  • Processing takes at least 2–3 weeks.
  • Accept loans before your payment deadline if using them for tuition/charges, though final acceptance is allowed up to approximately one month before the semester ends.
