30 Direct Graduate PLUS Loans Students who need additional assistance beyond the Direct Unsubsidized Loan are encouraged to consider the Direct Graduate PLUS Loan program prior to pursuing alternative loan programs from private lenders. As with Unsubsidized Loans, the interest rate on PLUS loan annual limits varies each year based on market interest rates. For up-to-date interest rate information, visit https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/loans/subsidized-unsubsidized#interest-rates. The amount each student is eligible for depends on the student's Cost of Attendance budget and previously utilized financial aid (including grants and scholarships). Additional details including interest rates, payment options, and other applicable details can be found here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/loans. Application steps include completing a loan increase form (downloadable under Financial Aid Forms on MyDenSem) and completing a PLUS Loan Request at https://studentloans.gov. Eligibility is subject to a credit check performed by the Department of Education. Federal Work Study Federal Work study is a need-based form of federal financial aid. Students must file a FAFSA for eligibility to be determined. Students must also complete a Work Study Eligibility Form through the financial aid office by visiting our Forms Library. Once completed the student will bring the eligibility form to interviews on campus. Departments will advertise their available work study positions. All these steps are outlined at: https://denverseminary.edu/admissions/financial-aid/work-study/). Available off-campus non work study positions are advertised on the Seminary's job board at http://www.denverseminary.edu/resources/job-board/. Veterans Benefit/Military Benefits Denver Seminary works with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense to ensure that eligible recipients of veterans educational benefits obtain the assistance available, including, but not limited to, the following programs: Post-9/11 GI Bill, Montgomery GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation, Tuition Assistance. GI Bill® 2 Students must have completed all necessary paperwork through the VA prior to requesting that Denver Seminary certify their GI Bill benefits. Please see the Department of Veteran Affairs website at: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/types/loans. Students must submit two additional documents to the financial aid office prior to any enrollment certification: a copy of their Certificate of Eligibility (showing the program the student is eligible for as well as the percentage of and remaining eligibility) and a completed Post-911 GI Bill payment contract. The payment contract form can be obtained from your campus' school certifying official. Copies of everything that is submitted by a student or sent to the VA Office will be kept in the student file. Certification Students may only receive benefits for classes which are taken at an approved site. Students may also take classes as a guest student at other schools, but it is the responsibility of each site to get their own approval from the applicable state's State Approving Agency. Guest students must also coordinate with the certifying officials at both schools to ensure the classes they are taking are eligible for certification through their educational benefits. Certification of veterans' enrollments will be done each semester unless the student specifically requests that he or she not be certified. VA certifications are done online using VA Once, which is the online equivalent of VA Form 22-1999. The staff person submitting certifications or signing any forms for the Seminary must be authorized by the VA as a school certifying official. To make a change to a certifying official, the Seminary must submit a form 22-8794. 2 GI Bill ® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
