Within 10 days of submitting your FAFSA, you will receive an email notification letting you know that your Offer Letter has been processed and given instructions on how to view and "accept" your aid.</p> <p><strong>Q: How do I sign my Master Promissory Note (MPN)?</strong></p> <p>A: You will complete and sign your Master Promissory note(s) on the <a href="http://www.studentaid.gov">www.studentaid.gov</a> website. There are separate Master Promissory Notes for the Federal Stafford loan as well as the Federal Plus loan. </p> <p><strong>Q: What if I already signed a Master Promissory Note in the past?</strong></p> <p>A: The Master Promissory note is required annually if you are a Direct Loan borrower at Southwestern. You will need to complete a new MPN. </p> <p><strong>Q: What if I already completed loan entrance counseling in the past?</strong></p> <p>A: First-time Direct Loan borrowers at Southwestern will need to complete a new loan entrance counseling. If you already completed entrance counseling while enrolled at Southwestern, then you do not have to complete entrance counseling again.</p> <p><strong>Q: How are my private loans handled?</strong></p> <p>A: If you are applying for a Private Non-Federal Loan, you will need to sign for this loan EACH year that you are requesting. Prior to taking out a Private Loan, however, you should speak with the Financial Aid Office to see if you may be eligible for a Federal Grad PLUS loan instead.</p> <p><strong>Q: What is Verification?</strong></p> <p>A: Verification is a process in which students may be requested to certify the accuracy of information reported on the FAFSA. Students who are selected for verification will be notified about the required documentation and deadlines.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li class="accordion-item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--accordion-item paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="accordion-item-title"> <span class="accordion-item-title-text"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-title field--type-text field--label-hidden field__item">Disbursement of Aid</div> </span> </div> <div class="accordion-item-content"> <div class="accordion-item-content-inner"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-content field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Q: What will my offer letter include?</strong></p> <p>A: The offer letter will identify all aid which a student requested to be considered for<strong> </strong>when they completed the FAFSA <strong>and </strong>for which he/she is deemed to be eligible.</p> <p>The offer letter will indicate eligibility for student loans (including both Stafford and Grad PLUS Loans), Federal Work Study and scholarships. </p> <p><em>NOTE:  If your Offer Letter lists the Grad PLUS loan, it means that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for the loan, but it does NOT mean that you've already been approved for the loan.

The Loan Change Form is available on the student portal or can be picked up in the Financial Aid Office.</p> <p><strong>Q: When will I receive my offer letter?</strong></p> <p>Students will receive an email notification letting them know they can view their financial aid package approximately 7 days after they have submitted all documents to the Financial Aid Office. Students will be contacted when/if additional documentation is required.</p> <p><strong>Q: When are my funds disbursed?</strong></p> <p>A: Funds are disbursed the Friday prior to classes beginning. We must internally post the funds to your account once we determine you are eligible (registered, completed entrance counseling and enrolled in the minimum number of units). Once your tuition has been paid in full, the remaining balance will be disbursed to you in the form of a check, or direct deposit if you have elected that option.</p> <p><strong>Q: When will I get my refund?</strong></p> <p>A: Refunds are disbursed the first Friday before classes commence each semester.</p> <p><strong>Q: What if I need more money?</strong></p> <p>A: If a student feels that they will need more aid than what was initially offered to them, they should visit the Financial Aid Office to discuss a budget increase. In certain cases and with specific documentation, a student MAY be eligible to increase their Cost of Attendance.</p> <p><strong>Q: How do I sign up for direct deposit?</strong></p> <p>A: You may sign up for Automated Refund Direct Deposit through <a href="https://selfservice.swlaw.edu/Student/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fStudent" target="_blank">Self-Service</a> (go to Financial Information > Bank Information).</p> <p><strong>Q: Can I get my books prior to the start of classes?</strong></p> <p>A: We suggest that you utilize a credit card to purchase your books. "Book Vouchers" may be provided to students who are receiving sufficient financial aid to cover the cost of books. This allows students to charge your books to your Student Account while you are awaiting financial aid for the term. Book Vouchers are available approximately 1 week prior to classes beginning. You must be registered and have completed all your financial aid documents to be considered for this option.</p> <p><strong>Q: What about my living expenses?</strong></p> <p>A: In creating the cost of attendance (budget) for all students, the Financial Aid Office considered what a typical student would spend on living expenses, including rent, food and utility expenses over the course of an academic year. These estimates are applied across-the-board to all students who apply for financial aid.</p> <p><strong>Q: Does the Cost of Attendance account for purchasing a laptop?</strong></p> <p>A: With proper documentation, students are allowed a one-time increase in their Cost of Attendance for the purchase of a laptop (Maximum of $2000). Students can pick up a Budget Increase Application in the Financial Aid Office.</p> <p><strong>Q: Do you have payment plans, and if so, how many different payments can it be split up into?</strong></p> <p>A:  For more information on payment plans, please contact the Accounting Office. Tel 213-738-6818 or email <a href="mailto:accounting@swlaw.edu">accounting@swlaw.edu</a>.</p> <p><strong>Q: What types of scholarships are available?</strong></p> <p>A: The school offers a number of <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="a0e7ca79-8043-41cd-a265-196fa778353b" href="/admissions-financial-aid/financial-aid/scholarships-grants-fellowships">institutional scholarships</a>, including the Wildman/Schumacher Scholarship Program for Entering Students, and the Dean's Merit Award for Continuing Students. Information is also available online regarding other scholarship programs and essay contents that a student may apply for to defray costs. This information is updated regularly to reflect opportunities as details become available. Questions should be directed to the Admissions Office regarding the Wildman/Schumacher Scholarship, and to the Financial Aid Office for all other scholarship opportunities.</p> <p><strong>Q: What if I receive Veteran Benefits?</strong></p> <p>A: Students receiving Veteran Benefits can utilize those funds to help cover expenses at Southwestern. Students will need to speak to the VA Certifying Official in the Financial Aid Office and complete additional forms in order to begin receiving their benefits.</p> <p><strong>Q: Is a Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program available?</strong> </p> <p>A: Yes, the Federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program was established in 2007. Under this program, Federal student loan borrowers may qualify for forgiveness of the remaining balance of their Federal Direct Loans after making 120 qualifying payments on those loans while employed full-time by certain public service employers. For more information about Public Service Loan Forgiveness contact <a href="https://www.mohela.com/" title="Mohela.com">Mohela.com</a>.</p> <p><strong>Q: What if I have bad credit?</strong></p> <p>A: Credit checks are not involved when a student applies for Stafford Loans. However, credit checks are required when a student applies for a Grad PLUS Loan. Approval for Grad PLUS Loans is not based on the student's credit score. Rather, it's a much simpler review to determine whether or not a student has an <em>Adverse Credit History </em>(examples include recent bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossessions, etc.). The absence of these particular items means a student would be approved for the loan. In the event that a student is denied as a result of their credit check, they would be given an opportunity to secure an endorser (a.k.a. co-signer) in order to obtain loan approval. In some instances, institutional loan funds are available.</p> <p><strong>Q: Will I need a co-signer?</strong></p> <p>A: Students <em>only </em>need to obtain a co-signer if they are denied a Grad PLUS Loan. If so, the lender will contact the student and inform them of the right to secure an endorser (co-signer) in order to obtain loan approval. Once a co-signer is approved, the student will need to complete another promissory note that links to the co-signer's note and will also need to complete a mandatory PLUS counseling session. Students will <em>not </em>need a co-signer in order to obtain a Stafford Loan.</p> <p><strong>Q: What if I can't get a co-signer?</strong></p> <p>A: Institutional loans may be available in the event you cannot obtain a co-signer. Please note, however, that institutional loans are not federal loans and are not eligible for federal consolidation.</p> <p><strong>Q: Will you need my parental information?</strong></p> <p>A: All students enrolled in a graduate program are considered to be independent for purposes of completing the FAFSA application, so no parental information will be required.</p></div> </div> </div> </div>
