1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
2. Begin with section 1, which requires the borrower's information. Provide your full name, Social Security Number (SSN), permanent address, date of birth, city, state (ST), and zip code. Ensure your email address is accurate, and include your driver's license number, program of study, and cell phone number. Indicate the term at which you plan to complete your studies at ESCC.
3. Move to section 2, labeled loan information. Here, specify the total amount you would like to borrow, and indicate which terms you wish to apply for financial aid (fall, spring, or summer) during the 2017-2018 award year. Keep in mind that once you submit this request, ESCC cannot adjust the loan amount.
4. Proceed to section 3, where you will check all programs from which you expect to receive funds this academic year. It is essential to indicate all applicable programs to avoid potential loss of loan availability and other forms of aid.
5. In section 4, review the disclosure information carefully. You will need to acknowledge your understanding that loans for a single term are disbursed in two payments, and that you must complete both the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling before your loan can be certified. Ensure you certify that the information provided is true and complete, then provide your signature and date.
6. Lastly, include your enrollment status (hours) and Cost of Attendance (COA). Submit the form by saving your changes, and you may choose to download, print, or share your completed document as needed. Remember to return the form to the ESCC Financial Aid Office for processing.
