FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<br />

WHAT IS A MASTER PROMISSORY NOTE (MPN)<br />

A Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legally binding agreement between you and the<br />

Department of Education under which you promise to repay the loan, with interest, in periodic<br />

installments. Under an MPN you may receive a loan for a single academic year or multiple<br />

academic years. Your MPN will be valid for 10 years from the date you sign the note.<br />

HOW MUCH CAN I BORROW?<br />

Your maximum eligibility is provided in your award letter. You can reduce or cancel your loan<br />

at any time by notifying your Financial Aid Office or the DOE. In subsequent years, your award<br />

letter will indicate your eligibility for future loans.<br />

WILL I BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY FEES?<br />

Yes, you may pay up to 1.00% in fees (this is deducted by the federal government) . Any fees<br />

charged are deducted from the gross amount borrowed. For example, if you borrow $3,500,<br />

your loan could be subject to $35.00 in fees, so the net amount you would receive would be<br />

$3,465.00.<br />

WHEN DO I START TO REPAY A STUDENT LOAN?<br />

For subsidized Federal Direct Loans, you will not begin making payments (and interest will not<br />

accrue) until six months after you graduate or stop attending at least half-time.<br />
