Plus Loan Calculator

How to Calculate 

Use the formula below to determine the amount of PLUS you want to request.  We encourage parents to borrow for the full year, i.e., one loan with a disbursement each semester.  Be aware that the student’s bill may vary each semester based on the number of registered credits.  A PLUS for the full year will be evenly split between semesters and repayment begins after the spring term loan is disbursed.  

Tuition schedules are posted online at http://www3.uwstout.edu/stubus in August or your student can review their account online through Access Stout.
