Entrance Interview Quiz

The federal government requires that all borrowers participate in entrance loan counseling before receiving Stafford Loan funds. We have created this quick and easy Entrance Counseling Quiz to help you fulfill this entrance requirement. This is a one time only requirement.

Please note that your 1st Stafford Loan Disbursement will not be available to you until you have completed an approved entrance counseling session. You must satisfy the school's requirements for entrance counseling.

By the time you finish the session, you should have a very good understanding of all your student loan requirements.

Before submitting the information below, please read the following:
