About the MPN

The MPN for the Federal Grad PLUS Loan is a promissory note that is signed online. One MPN is valid for up to 10 years. The MPN must be completed in one sitting. Before filling out the MPN at the Direct Loan Promissory Note Web site, you will need to collect some basic information in advance. An MPN cannot be saved and completed at a later time.

Please read the Federal Grad PLUS Loan MPN carefully. The terms and conditions are different than the Federal Stafford Loans.
