What happens if I reach my aggregate loan limit?

If you meet your aggregate loan limit for a particular loan type, you are no longer eligible to receive money for that type of loan. The annual and aggregate limits for subsidized and unsubsidized loans can be viewed on studentaid.gov

To view your loan history, borrowing information, and/or loan servicer contact information, please log into studentaid.gov, using your FSA ID. If you have forgotten your FSA ID, you may retrieve it at on the Student Aid login page.

Once logged in, view the “My Aid” section on your dashboard for an overview of your loan balance. To view additional loan and grant information, please see “View Details” in the upper-right corner of the My Aid dashboard. This page will provide you information on loan types received along with a loan breakdown.

As a graduate/professional level student, you may be eligible to apply for a Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan. For more information about these loans, please go to Federal Student Aid: Grad Plus Loans.  

There is also the option of private loans for additional financial assistance in this scenario for both undergraduate and graduate level students: ElmSelect Online Lender Comparisons.
