Federal Loan Process (Continuing/Returning Students):

Step 1.  Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

Step 2.  Once the FAFSA is processed, a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be sent directly to you for you to verify the information you reported. 

Step 3.  MUW will notify you with an award letter if you have received awards.  Please use your Banner Web account to accept or decline any awards offered by our institution.  If you are taking out a federal loan you must choose a lender.  This will require you to go our financial aid homepage at www.muw.edu/finaid and click “Choose a Lender.”  This will allow you to select a lender for your federal loan.  Financial need is determined by evaluating the family’s ability to pay for educational costs.

Step 4.  If you have taken out a federal loan previously you should not have to complete a Master promissory Note or complete another Entrance Counseling session online.
