First time borrowers of federal loans at UNH must watch a federally mandated 10-minute entrance counseling video. Federal loans cannot be released to a student s account until this federal requirement is completed. Loan money will be returned to the lender within 45 days of receipt if this video is not seen and payment in full will be expected immediately. The entrance counseling video can be seen at the Financial Aid Office in Stoke Hall. Any student may be eligible for a Stafford Loan.
Loans processed by other guarantee agencies send loan funds by check.
Perkins Loan Notes Recipients of Perkins Loans will be mailed loan notes for signature. Loan notes are mailed to the student s permanent mailing adress. Students who have not received Perkins Loan notes by the beginning of classes should come to UNH Business Services to sign their notes. Students will sign only one Perkins Loan note which will cover both fall and spring semesters. Scholarships will be shown as pending credits on students' bills once proper documentation has been received at UNH Business Services.
