If you or your family participate or receive benefits from one of these programs, we recommend that you contact your program administrator in late May or early June to make arrangements to have funds sent on your behalf to McDaniel College. It can take several weeks for processing so we encourage you to plan early so that funds are received before the July 1 payment deadline.

Some families prefer to obtain private educational loans through the bank, credit union, or student loan provider of their choice. These loans are typically in your name but require a parent or another credit worthy adult to co-sign. Contact any lender of your choosing for more information. It can sometimes take several weeks for processing so we encourage you to plan early so that funds are received before the July 1 payment deadline.

Your parent may choose to borrow funds for payment of your account balance through a Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Applications are submitted online at www.studentloans.gov and the results are transmitted directly to McDaniel College. Completion of a FAFSA is required. Interest and fees apply. Parents applying for the PLUS Loan have the option to begin payments immediately or defer payments until you are no longer enrolled in your undergraduate degree program. If your parent applies for a PLUS Loan and is not approved, you may be eligible for additional Federal unsubsidized loans. If your parent intends to use PLUS loan funds to fund expenses for both your fall and spring semesters, we encourage you to apply for enough funds to cover the entire academic year.

McDaniel College offers you the option to pay all or a portion of your semester balance in five monthly installments. You have the flexibility to set up a new payment plan for each semester. The fall semester payment plan begins in July and runs through November. The spring semester payment plan begins in December and runs through April. The payment plan is interest free but there is an enrollment fee of $75 each semester that you enroll. Payment Plan enrollment opens in June.
