Information on these plans is mailed to accepted students in the spring. The PLUS program is administered by CSM and guaranteed by the federal government. The PLUS program can provide up to the full cost of your education each year and has a 10-year repayment period with interest rates that can vary annually. The interest rate cannot exceed nine percent, and the CSM Financial Aid Office can recommend PLUS lenders. Optional loans are available to students who do not qualify for need-based financial aid.
Interest rates vary.
The CSM Financial Aid Office can recommend the best program. If you feel that s true for you, you should write the CSM Financial Aid Office and briefly tell them about your special circumstances. All information is kept confidential, and federal laws assure the privacy of academic and personal information. College is a big investment, and we know that families are concerned about college costs. My greatest satisfaction comes from being able to work with new students and their families, making sure they understand what the Financial Aid Office can do to make CSM affordable.
