Student Loan Applications

Oakland Community College attempts to meet our students' educational needs with grants, scholarships, and work-study.  If the amount of your financial aid does not meet your educational expenses, you may want to consider a loan.  Students should always request the minimum amount necessary to meet these expenses.  Before you can complete the loan application, you must have received a formal determination from Student Financial Resources and Scholarships.  A formal determination can be either an OCC award letter or an OCC letter indicating that you are ineligible for a grant but may apply for a loan.  You may not complete a loan request until you have received this notice from OCC.

You must identify a lending institution if you choose to borrow through the Stafford Loan Program.  Oakland Community College does not endorse any one lender.  The lenders listed are established lenders with a reputation for providing quality service and efficient loan and disbursement processing.  You have the right to use any lender you choose.  If your lender is not listed, submit a Master Promissory Note from your selected lender to the campus where your financial aid application is located.

Fall/Winter/Summer 2007-08 Student Loan Application:  If you are interested in applying for a loan, follow the directions below.

Note:  All students completing a summer loan application must also complete the Summer Application at:  http://www.oaklandcc.edu/finaid/FAforms.htm.

Be sure that you have completed the FAFSA before proceeding with the campus selection.

• Remember to write down your lender choice for reference at a later time.
• OCC has selected the lenders for the Lender List because of their history of reliable customer service and competitive savings programs for student borrowers.  Parents and students are invited to research these and other participating lenders independently to find the lender that would best fit their needs.  OCC does not endorse any one lender over another and is not financially contracted with any lender.
• Please select the tab for the Oakland Community College campus where your financial aid records reside to move forward in the loan process.
