<p>After the school get my info when can i expect to get the award letter. It's been a month since i started the process. Should i start applying for loans?</p>
<p>Have you filled out the FAFSA and listed your school in the app?</p>
<p>These days you usually log into your school’s ecampus or student center account (often the same web-based account you find out your acceptance status, register online for classes, etc) and look for your FA award info there.</p>
<p>It often takes 1 - 3 months (or more) for a school to create a FA offer if the FAFSA was filled out late in the process. Summertime is somewhat late for a fall start date. Call your school to get a generic idea of when you can expect to see your FA offer.</p>
<p>Once you get your FA and see what Federal student loans you qualify for, the FA offer should have links to the next part of the process which is the Master Promisary Note which can be done online as well. You don’t really “apply” for the student loans other than the FAFSA… and to then get the ones you want from your FA offer you do the MPN to complete the process.</p>
