Get a personal identification number (PIN) from the U.S. Department of Education. With a PIN, you’ll be able to electronically sign your FAFSA, and your FAFSA will be processed even more quickly.

Fill out the FAFSA online or get a hard copy from your counselor or the financial aid office.

Indicate your interest in a student loan on the FAFSA.

To receive a Federal Stafford Loan you must sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). You may sign your MPN electronically, using your PIN, or a paper version can be mailed to you for completion. Check with the school you will be attending to see which method they prefer.

To get the lowest-cost student loan, you must specify your lender as The Student Loan People by entering lender #826688 on your Master Promissory Note (MPN).

If you currently have a student loan with another lender and want to change to The Student Loan People to get the lowest cost student loan in Kentucky, please notify your school of your decision to change lenders. You may need to file a new MPN.
