Follow these steps to find your current student loan balance(s):
1. Go to: nslds.ed.gov
2. Click on ‘Financial Aid Review’
3. ‘Accept’ and log in using your FSA ID username and password
4. Review your total Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan amounts and answer the following:
a. What is your current total outstanding principal balance of your Subsidized loan? $ _________________
b. What is your current total outstanding principal balance of your Unsubsidized loan? $ _______________
5. If you have never borrowed student loans before, please keep in mind that loan funds for first-time borrowers will not
disburse until 30 days after the start of the semester.
After carefully reviewing your federal student loan information, please complete the following:

You must also complete the Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note (MPN) online at: https://studentloans.gov

I understand all of the following (please initial after you have read each statement):
_____ THIS IS A LOAN THAT MUST BE REPAID.

Academic Progress (SAP) policy.
_____ I must inform Leeward CC’s Financial Aid Office once I drop below half-time status, graduate, completely withdraw,
transfer, or stop attending classes; repayment will begin six months after.
_____ A loan fee of approximately 1% of the loan will be automatically deducted from each loan disbursement.
_____ There will be two loan disbursements, one at the beginning of the loan period (unless I am a first year, first-time
borrower in which my loan funds won’t be disbursed until 30 days after the start of the semester) and the second at
the mid-point through the loan period. I understand that disbursement dates may be different if I am enrolled in a
modular program/course(s); in general, loan funds will not be disbursed until I am attending at least 6 credits.
_____ First-Time Borrowers on or after July 1, 2013: I may not receive SUBSIDIZED loans for more than 150% of my program
length. Additionally, if I continuously enroll and do not complete my program, I can lose the interest subsidy on my
prior SUBSIDIZED loans for the remaining life of the loan.
