LOAN PROCESSING CHANGES ARE COMING!
Beginning with the 2008-09 academic year, TCNJ will introduce a new loan processing system. The new system will offer many features including a lender comparison tool that students will use to determine which lender’s benefits best meet their needs. In addition, it will provide lending history for returning borrowers.
Please be reminded that e-mail is TCNJ’s official means of communication. All instruction for the new loan processing system will be sent to the student’s TCNJ e-mail account.
Now is the time to file for your FAFSA for the 2008/09 academic year. Plan successfully by reading this article. Missed deadlines may mean missed financial aid opportunities.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER...BUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE:
Don’t forget to file your 2008-09 FREE Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)!
To apply for Federal or State Student Aid Programs, complete the FAFSA on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov (FAFSA on the web).
If you don’t have a PIN, you can apply for one at www.pin.ed.gov. PIN numbers are issued as soon as you apply.
State of New Jersey’s deadline for recipients of the New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant is June 1, 2008.
It is a lot easier to stop in the Financial Aid Office located in Green Hall Room 101 while you are here and get any information that is needed than it is to contact the office during the peak summer processing times.
Best wishes for a great summer!
