Financial Aid

Nursing Student Loan Promissory Note

Only students officially offered a Nursing Student Loan via their financial aid award offer can be funded through this program. In order to meet the requirements for the accepted loan, you must complete the appropriate master promissory note and associated paperwork.

Read, complete and submit the appropriate paperwork for your Nursing Student Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) to be valid and your accepted loan funds disbursed to your bill.

It may take up to 3 days after completing the promissory note that all systems will be updated. Once the updates have occurred, your loan will be ready for disbursement based on the terms of your loan.


Completing Required Paperwork

As with all loans, a borrower needs to submit paperwork that is the legal acceptance of the loan, shows an understanding of the process, and provides contact information upon repayment.
