For most students, the Graduate PLUS Loan is a better option than taking out a private education loan. Most private loans come with a variable interest rate that may adjust several times a year with no interest rate cap. These loans can also have a wide range of expensive fees.

The PLUS Loan, on the other hand, offers a competitive fixed rate for the life of the loan, and you will never pay more than 4% in fees.

And with the Graduate PLUS Loan, your income, credit score and current debt level will not affect your eligibility. Even if you have a limited credit history, you may still qualify.
