Interest rates are determined each June 1 for the upcoming award year by adding a fixed percentage to the high yield of the 10-year Treasury note auctioned at the final auction prior to June 1. As a result of the May 12 auction, the interest rates for federal loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2026, are expected to slightly increase.

🎉 The 2026–27 PLUS loan application is now live at StudentAid.gov. 🎉

If you filed a 2025–26 PLUS app, it does not cover 2026–27. Financial aid is aid‑year specific. To be considered for 2026–27 PLUS funds, complete the 2627 FAFSA and the 2627 PLUS application.

OB3 changes to know:

Graduate PLUS: eliminated for new borrowers effective July 1, 2026. Graduate students should explore alternatives and check for any legacy protections.

Parent PLUS: caps begin 2026–27 — $20,000 annual limit per student and $65,000 aggregate limit per student.

What to do now:

Go to StudentAid.gov and complete the 2627 PLUS application if you need PLUS funds for 2026–27.

Contact our office with questions about eligibility, caps, or legacy provisions.

✨🔦 EL 150 Student Spotlight!🔦✨

Our EL 150 students recently completed a project where they selected a campus resource, invited a “guest,” and designed a social media style post to highlight that service.

Several students chose Financial Aid, and they created some great graphics to help their fellow Hornets understand where to go for support.

We’re excited to share a few of their infographics with you today! 💛🐝

💛 Feeling confused about your aid offer? We’ve got you, Hornets! 💛

If your 26–27 Financial Aid Offer shows a Cost of Attendance (COA) number that looks bigger than you expected… don’t panic. COA is not your bill.

COA is a planning estimate that includes things like tuition, books, housing, meals, and other college costs. It helps us build your aid package, but it is not what you owe ESU.

📣 Actual charges will be posted by the Cashiers Office closer to the start of your Summer or Fall semester, depending on when you begin classes. That’s when you’ll see your real bill in the Student Account Center within Hornet365.

If you’re ever unsure, reach out. We’re here to help you make sense of it all.
