Stafford Loan Program Guide

Completing the Student Stafford Master Promissory Note 

*Your PIN is the last four digits of your social security number. If you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the PC that you are using, select "print on my own printer". Otherwise, choose to have the paper application sent to you from the lender.

* Complete the loan application and select a lender. A drop down list is available as a part of the application. Be advised that Doane College does not recommend lenders.

* Print three copies of the MPN, (page 10 only) of the application documents. Keep one copy of the application for your records.

*Sign the MPN and send a signed copy to the lender. Send the third signed copy to the Doane College Financial Aid Office. Once you have signed your MPN you MUST send a signed copy to your lender. The lender will not provide any funds without the valid, signed promissory note.

*Make certain that you submit the application through the on-line process, and you receive the last page that says "Congratulations". This step ensures that you have completed the application correctly.
