Optimizing PLUS Loans

The SFP product management team wanted to share additional set-up options outside of the product that should be considered to optimize PLUS and Grad PLUS packaging.

Below are a few best practices to consider.

Defining Requested Loan period dates with the PLUS application workflow

• Do I need to consider making an update?

If your school is experiencing either of the following conditions, you should check whether the requested loan period dates have been defined correctly.

You have identified students with accepted PLUS applications where the Award Range requested start and end dates in the CRSP file type do not reflect your schools’ academic term dates established for that award year. As a result, no PLUS loans have been awarded.
