Stafford Loans/Entrance Interview

In person loan entrance counseling is required for fall 2009 Stafford Loan loan borrowers who are new students at Montgomery College and who have not completed an in person session. You may view the session dates in the flyer. (pdf)

NEW! Direct Loan Online Entrance Counseling.

The former online site was available for fall 2009 applications. New student loan borrowers will be encouraged to go to the Direct Loan site above.

Remember, you will be contacted to attend an in person session later in the semester. Funds will not disburse until you have completed the group session, if required.

See your financial aid office representative if you have questions. Complete an online entrance interview and print the page which says you completed the Entrance Counseling.

Bring the page to the financial aid office to receive a Stafford Loan Application folder. The folder contains an MC Stafford Loan Form, information (about borrower limits and definitions of subsidized and unsubsidized loans) and a Student Loan History Form.

1. Return the History Form and the Processing Form to the financial aid office in order to process your loan request for the semester or the current academic year.

2. You will be contacted to attend an in-person loan session before the loan can be disbursed to your account.

3. After a loan is processed by the school you need to sign a MASTER PROMISSORY LOAN NOTE. It is available online or by paper. The online method is faster.
COMPARE RATES AND LOAN SERVICE OPTIONS. You may choose a lender of your choice. We have some lenders who have electronic services with MC.

Lenders you may want to consider using for FFEL Stafford Loan.

If you have prior educational loans you may review your records at the National Student Loan Data System for student borrowers.
