| How to apply:
UH Manoa recommends that students complete a FAFSA
application. (This allows the office to
offer any grants or other need-based awards to
qualified applicants.)
Choose
a Lender:
The
University
of
Hawaii
at Manoa does not recommend any lender(s).
Students may select any lender that
participates in the Federal Family Education
Loan (FFEL) Program.
We
encourage you to go to the websites of several
lenders that you may be interested in and
compare their loan benefits which include fees
and repayment incentives; and customer
service, which include loan servicer,
life-of-loan servicing, hours of availability,
electronic processing, etc. before making your
decision.
Please
note that because of the recent credit crisis,
many lenders have decided to stop
participating in the Federal Educational Loan
Program. As part of your research,
please verify that your selected lender is
still participating.
If
you would like to see a list of lenders that
were utilized by our students and parents in
the 2008-2009 school year, please click here
or go to
http://www.hawaii.edu/fas/lenderOptions.html
Please
note that you may choose to use any lender,
provided that they are participating in the
Federal Family Education Loan Program. If
your Lender is NOT listed, please confirm with
them that they are a participant. If
they are, please work with them to sign their
Master Promissory Note. We will also
need a Loan Certification Request from your
lender, which can be faxed or mailed to us.
Complete
and Sign your Master Promissory Note:
A
signed Master Promissory Note (MPN) is
required by a lender before they can disburse
your loan funds. For your convenience, we have
placed hyperlinks on each of the lenders
listed that will either allow you to either
electronically sign their MPN, or get more
information (some lenders do not have MPNs
that you can electronically sign).
