To receive your first William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan at Bowling Green State University, you must complete an Entrance
Interview and Master Promissory Note (MPN). The Entrance Interview process ensures that you have a full understanding of the
rights and responsibilities you will incur upon accepting this loan. The MPN will serve as your authorization to borrow loans
through the Direct Loan program.
This on-line Entrance Interview was designed to help you understand your Direct Loan. Any undergraduate, graduate, or transfer
student attending Bowling Green State University that has not previously borrowed funds from the William D. Ford Federal Direct
Loan program at BGSU must complete this process before their loan can be disbursed. Please contact Student Financial Aid Office
at any time if you have additional questions about the entrance interview process.
The MPN is a promissory note that can be used to make Federal Direct student loans for multiple academic years (up to 10 years).
Because Bowling Green State University is authorized and chooses to make multiple loans under the same MPN for more than one
academic year, you will only sign one MPN. It will be used for all of your Direct Loans at BGSU. For example, if you enroll
in college as a freshman and borrow under the Direct Loan Program for all years of study, you are able to borrow under this
MPN for all years.
Parents borrowing a Federal Direct Plus Loan are also required to complete an MPN. The PLUS loan version of the MPN is also
available electronically from the link below.
The electronic MPN site allows you to complete and sign an MPN over the web using your unique PIN number provided by the U.S.
Department of Education. Additional details are included on the site. When completing the electronic PLUS MPN, the parent
borrower's unique PIN number is required.
