USF initiates the loan process and does all processing electronically. Check your award notice each year after you are awarded to see if you have loans.
Steps to the loan process::
-
Apply each academic year by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and completing all requirements listed in OASIS. Check OASIS for unsatisfied requirements and to see your award offer.
-
Accept, decline, or reduce your loan amounts through OASIS.
-
If you are a first time student loan borrower, or if your previous lender is no longer participating in the program, you must choose a lender. You may choose a lender from the drop down menu in OASIS when you accept your loan(s).
-
To assist in your selection, use the recommended lender list to link to the lender web site and review the borrower benefits
-
Lenders on the recommended list were selected based on the results of an independent survey, and meet criteria most beneficial to student borrowers at USF. Consideration was given to lenders who offer exceptional service and electronic processing , which expedites the delivery of funds to the student borrower.
-
If you wish to choose a lender not on the list, notify us so that we can assist you with a separate form to provide your lender information.

Check OASIS to see if an Entrance Interview is listed
under your “Unsatisfied Requirements.”* www.usf.edu/oasis

Complete the Master
Promissory Note (MPN) if this is your first time borrowing at USF. Most lenders offer electronic MPNs. If you choose a lender from the list below, a link to the MPN is provided. Otherwise, contact your lender directly for information on completing their MPN process.
