How Can I Borrow for Grad School?

I spoke with someone at Columbia Financial Aid last week, and they told me that would happen if you try to apply online. At Columbia, the PLUS loans are administered through the Financial Aid department, so you must contact them regarding it. For my school, they haven't sent out emails about these loans yet because they require a credit check which is only good for 90 days, and so you must be physically starting classes within 90 days of when you apply for the loan.

I tried to get a PLUS loan for Columbia grad school and it said that Columbia does not participate in the program. What should I do? Do I have to go to a bank then?

As a grad student(and a poor, family man) This program is great.
