00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.000
After accepting your awards, 

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.000
you may need to complete additional requirements 

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.000
to maintain your financial aid. 

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
If you accepted loans, 

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000
in the Documents & Messages area there are links  

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.000
to complete Entrance Loan Counseling and a Master Promissory Note. 

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.000
New students and first time loan borrowers must complete both.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
Incoming transfer students who have had federal loans at other schools 

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000
must complete new Entrance Loan Counseling. 

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Currently, Master Promissory Notes are valid for 10 years 

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
so you do not need to complete another one as long as yours has not expired. 

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Continuing WOU students do not need to complete entrance loan counseling 

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.000
or a Master Promissory Note if they have already received 

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.000
federal loans from WOU in previous financial aid award years.  

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000
If you are receiving grants,

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.000
There are no additional requirements in order for you to receive the grant 

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.000
but if you enroll less than full-time 

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.000
your grants will be revised to match your enrollment level.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.000
For more information on federal and state grants visit our website.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.000
If you accepted institutional scholarships,

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:60.000
for WOU general scholarship recipients the scholarship officer

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.000
will initially send an email to notify you 

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.000
that you have been offered a scholarship

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
That email includes instructions and a deadline

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.000
to accept your scholarship in award management. 

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.000
For scholarships awarded by other departments such as admissions or athletics

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.000
the awarding department will send a report to notify financial aid

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:20.000
to include that award on your official award letter. 

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
After you are officially awarded you'll need to accept

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.000
all funds though my finaid 

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.000
including institutional scholarships 

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.000
that you accepted in award management.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Thanks for watching. We hope this helps you with the WOU financial aid process.
