Undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the Federal Stafford Loan subject to approval by the Financial Aid Office of St Mary’s University. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed.
Participants in any loan program must be enrolled at half-time status or more. It is important to note that if a student drops below half-time status during the semester, all or a portion of their loan funds received for that semester may be returned to the lender. This may result in the student owing money to the University, if the University has to refund the money. The student will owe money to the lending institution, if the student has received a refund check. |
