Select T.H.E.

What do I need to know when selecting a lender?

T.H.E.'s PLUS Loan Program is designed to assist you in covering the cost of education for your dependent student. T.H.E. is a non-profit organization where borrowers are the stakeholders. Features of the T.H.E. PLUS Loan Program include:

  • 0-1% Default Fees

  • 3.0% Origination Fees
    Federal regulations prohibit us from offering zero origination fees on PLUS loans.

  • Flexible Repayment Plans
    As a parent receiving a T.H.E. Federal PLUS Loan, you have three repayment options: interest-only payments, standard repayment or no payments while the student is in school. You have up to a 10-year term once you enter a standard repayment plan.

  • Better Benefits Than Private Loans
    T.H.E. Federal PLUS Loans offer greater cost savings and are eligible for federal student loan consolidation.

  • 0.25% ACH Benefit
    0.25% interest rate discount for automatic payments (ACH) on new federal loans with a first disbursement on/after 7/1/2008

  • Excellent Customer Service
    Geared for you, our experienced customer service experts provide a single point of contact for your questions. T.H.E. also offers combined billing, meaning one payment for all your loans.

  • Borrower Education
