Stafford Loan Entrance Interviews

Borrowing money for school is a serious, long-term, financial obligation. We want to insure that all borrowers learn how to handle their finances so that they are in a position to repay their loan debts after they leave Loyola. The Department of Education mandates that all Federal Stafford Loan borrowers complete an "entrance counseling" session before receiving their first loan. Loan proceeds can not be credited to students' accounts until they fufill this requirement

Options:

Students have two options for completing this requirement:

  • If they have Internet access, they may complete the requirements on-line at any ONE of the following sites(Students may want to use their lender's site if one is available):
  • Nellie Mae;
  • Mapping Your Future;

  • Students can also complete this requirement at the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (Room 110 Marquette Hall) during the week.

    Students who utilize the on-line counseling program must forward their results to our office. Any questions should be addressed to us. We attempt to answer all e-mail queries received during the week within 24 hours. Students can also call our office between 8:30-4:45 p.m. during the week and ask to speak to the staff members responsible for their files.
