LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky residents whose children's financial aid doesn't meet college expenses can apply for a state-based loan.
The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority says the loan has a lower interest rate than federal PLUS loans, and a parent can use it to help pay for a student attending graduate or professional school.
If the borrower begins paying the funds back while the student is in school, the interest rate is 7.25 percent with a 2 percent guarantee fee. If payment is postponed until after the student finishes school, the rate is 7.75 percent with a guarantee fee of 3 percent. There's also a 0.5 percent interest rate reduction for automatic debit payments.
