Federal Stafford Loan MPN

First time borrowers at MU will automatically be mailed an Master Promissory Note (MPN) from American Education Services (AES, formerly known as PHEAA) after the University has pre-certified his/her maximum Stafford Loan eligibility. Students who borrowed a Stafford Loan after July 2000 and prior to the current academic year, will not be mailed an MPN. Any student who has not yet completed an MPN (first-time borrowers), or who borrowed a Stafford Loan prior to July 2000 will need to fill out a new MPN. A student will be given the maximum Stafford loan eligibility, unless the student returns the "Borrowing Intention Form" (BIF) that is mailed with their award letter indicating otherwise.
