The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)

The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is a Federal Educational Loan. The parent is the borrower of this loan. It is part of the student's financial aid package and students are required to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. The amount that can be borrowed is based on the cost of attendance less any other financial aid awarded.

Alternative Loans

Alternative, or private, loans are offered by several banks and lending agencies. These loans are not part of the federal government’s guaranteed student loan programs and are not subsidized by the federal government. Alternative loans are available to credit-worthy borrowers or borrowers with a credit-worthy cosigner. Applying with a cosigner may improve your chances of approval or result in a lower interest rate.

Students and families sometimes need help to cover the costs of attending college. We have several kinds of loans that might be helpful if you are experiencing a gap between your available funds and your needs.

The Evergreen State College Financial Aid staff is here to help you meet your educational goals as an undergraduate, and when you are admitted into a Masters program at Evergreen we will continue to support needs related to your education.

Graduate Studies Scholarships

The Master in Teaching (MIT), Master of Environmental Studies (MES) and Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs each have their own scholarships forms for a variety of awards.

Financial Aid Forms for the 2016–2017 Academic Year
(September 2016–August 2017)

Financial Aid Forms for the 2017–2018 Academic Year

Other students and their families may have the same questions as you do. Check here to see whether someone else is addressing your concerns.

We subtract your FAFSA Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from Evergreen's Cost of Attendance (COA) to determine financial need and eligibility for financial aid.
