Applying for Student Loans (Federal Direct Loans)
Students interested in applying for a student loan must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application is available via the internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov or a paper copy is available through the Financial Aid Office at NPC or through your high school counselor.
After the Student's Financial Aid package is complete, the student's eligibility for a student loan can be determined.
Request an Unsubsidized Loan
Complete the loan request form to request an unsubsidized loan. Return the completed form to Gail Carmon in the financial aid office.
Loan Requirements
Once the loan has been offered and accepted in the Oasis account, students must complete the loan "To Do List" that is listed in the To Do section of their Oasis account:

The funds will be electronically forwarded to the College by the disbursement date. Students who receive a student loan must be in at least 6 credit hours and maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue to be eligible to receive the loan funds.
