Review the billing calendar for important dates. We know that applying for financial aid can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve assembled these video tutorials, grouped by topic, to help you navigate the process. For account/log-in questions, please contact the TCNJ Helpdesk.
Various options are available for parents looking to borrow loans for the next academic year. You can review the information listed for the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan, the State’s NJCLASS Loan, and private loans listed under the Alternative Student Loans or ELM Select. Each one of the links will send you to the corresponding website with more information on how to apply.
Due to federal regulations, we cannot recommend one loan/lender over another. In addition, we suggest that when you apply, you apply for the entire academic year. When applying for the year, lenders send the first half of the loan in September to cover the Fall bill and the second half in February to cover the Spring bill. We recommend researching how student loans work by visiting our financial aid tutorials page.
