New Student Aid Process
All, Im sending this email as a reminder regarding the loan process. At this time, many of you are accepting your loan/awards on line. I have certified your Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan up to the Maximum (40,500). Please Go to www.studentloangs.gov and complete your Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling for your Direct Loan. I have also posted Work Study to the accounts of those of you interested in Work Study. Please accept the Work Study award offer as well. If you have any questions regarding this process, please let me know. In order to accept your award offer, please go to TU portal and sign in using your TU secure ID. Select Self Service Banner and proceed to the Financial Aid Tab. If you have any questions regarding Banner, please let me know. Written instructions for accepting award offers are found on www.temple.edu/sfs. Ive also attached a Grad Data enrollment form for those of you interested in applying for a Direct Grad Plus Loan. You may apply through Student Loans.gov and complete the Grad Plus Application. You will also need to complete a MPN for Grad Plus as well as Entrance Counseling (www.studentloans.gov) which will include Grad Plus. The Grad Data form is strictly for you telling me how much of a Grad Plus Loan youre interested in taking this academic year. Also if youre not accepting the full amount of the Unsubsidized Direct Loan, please make a note of that on the Grad Data Sheet as well. Written instructions for applying for Direct Graduate Plus Loans are found on www.temple.edu/sfs. Many of you were selected for a process called Verification. This process is a federal regulation to ensure that we, the institution, are following all of the federal laws. With this process, I will request certain documents based on the information youve indicated on your FAFSA. Ive attached a copy of an Independent Verification Worksheet for your completion. A. If you have indicated that you WILL FILE, I will need you to complete the Independent Verification Worksheet and attach a signed copy of your/spouse 2012 federal tax return as well as your w2s. B. If you have indicated that you WILL NOT FILE, I will need you to complete the Independent Verification Worksheet only. C. If you have submitted parental information and are interested in HPSL (Student Health Professions Loan), please complete the Independent Verification Worksheet and attach a copy of both you/spouse (if filed) and your parent(s) (if filed) 2012 federal tax returns as well as your W2s. Please note that parental information is only required for the purposes of the Student Health Professions Loan only. Ive noticed that there were still a number of FAFSA that were not completed. In order for us to process a Direct Loan, FAFSA has to be completed each academic year. If you are interested in a Direct Loan and have not completed your FAFSA, please do so ASAP.
Reminder: If you have not already applied for Direct Deposit through TU Portal, please do so. Log onto TU Portal and go to student tools, you will see the Direct Deposit option to the right of the screen.. Otherwise, you will receive your Temple Refunds via paper check. If you have any questions regarding Direct Deposit please let me know. If you have any questions, please let me know. Congratulations and have a great year!!! Sincerely, Lisa Brooks/[email protected]/215-625-5447
