Entrance Interview and Master Promissory Note (MPN)
All first time Stafford Loan borrowers must complete an entrance interview and the Master Promissory Note (MPN) before the loan funds can be credited to your account. The entrance interview process provides a full understanding of your rights and responsibilities when borrowing from the Stafford Loan program. The MPN gives you authorization to borrow loans through the Stafford Loan and allows you to select the lender who will provide the funding.

Master Promissory Note
You will only need to sign one MPN. Visit http://www.HESC.com to complete and sign an MPN online. New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (NYSHESC) will require you to create a HESC user ID and Personal Identification Number (PIN). You will be able to use this Pin for the electronic Master Promissory Note (e-MPN) for your Stafford Loan as well as for your New York State's Tuition Assistance program (TAP).

Parents borrowing PLUS loans are also required to complete an MPN.
