SUBSIDIZED and UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOANS

Step 1: Upon receipt of the Financial Aid Award Letter, students should indicate their acceptance of the offered loan funds and return their completed and signed award letter to the Office of Financial Aid for processing.

Step 2: Upon receipt of the completed award letter, the Office of Financial Aid will initialize the loan for online certification through Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation's Loans By Web (LBW).

Step 3: Students will then be prompted, via e-mail, to complete their online loan application, using their FAFSA PIN as an electronic signature. First-time borrowers will be required to complete entrance counseling.

Step 4: The LBW process will allow the student borrower to choose a lender for his or her loan.
