<p>If you want the federal Stafford loan offered to you on your Financial Aid Award Notice, you will need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) with the lender you select. Please visit the Undergraduate Financial Aid website for information on selecting a lender, links, as well as other important loan information at [Preferred</a> Lender List](<a href=“http://ug-finaid.northwestern.edu/lenderlist.html]Preferred”>http://ug-finaid.northwestern.edu/lenderlist.html)</p>

<p>However, it does not list a deadline for this. Does anyone know what the deadline is?</p>

<p>I do not know a specific “deadline”. If, however you want the Stafford loan amount to be used in the 9Pay payment program, you need to get the 9pay in by 25 May which may necessitate having the Stafford loan identified by that time.</p>
