Financial Aid Reminder!

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

As Mercy College transitions to Direct Lending for the 2010/11 academic year, the financial aid office would like to remind you to complete the Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) if you have not already done so.  Visit the StudentLoans.gov Web site at https://studentloans.gov/ immediately to complete a Direct Loan MPN electronically and avoid delays in receiving your loan funds!  NOTE:  your summer financial aid (grants & loans) will not be applied to your student account until after July 1, 2010 if your summer aid is from the 2010/11 FAFSA.

You must have a Federal Student Aid PIN to complete a Direct Loan MPN.  If you do not already have a Federal Student Aid PIN, visit http://www.pin.ed.gov/ to apply for one.

If you have any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance.  Our summer office hours are Monday – Thursday 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, Friday 7:30 am to 11:30 am.  Please feel free to email, call (419-251-1219) or stop in if you have any questions!
