STEP I Applying for a Federal PIN:
What is a Federal Student Aid PIN and what is it used for?
Your PIN is an electronic access code that serves as your personal identifier and can be used every year to electronically apply for federal student aid and to access your U.S. Department of Education records online.
Your PIN allows you to:
- “Sign” your application electronically and complete the student aid process completely online—no paper is involved.
- If you’re a dependent student and one of your parents has a Federal Student Aid PIN, he or she can sign the application electronically online as well.
- Make online corrections to your FAFSA.
- Access your Student Aid Report* (SAR).
- “Sign” a master promissory note* for a federal student loan.
- Access your federal student aid records online, including your student loan history information on NSLDS.*
You, and your parents if you’re a dependent student, can apply for a PIN anytime at www.pin.ed.gov.

- You get online instructions for each question, and you can access live online help with a customer service representative for free if you have additional questions.
- If you are a U.S. citizen, eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, and within the age range to have graduated from high school after Jan. 1, 2005, additional screens will appear to help determine your eligibility for the ACG.
- By applying online, you can send your application information to up to ten schools (the paper form is limited to four schools).
- Once you submit your application, your information is immediately sent to the U.S. Department of Education. You’ll get a confirmation notice right away when you click on “Submit My FAFSA Now.”

STEP III Complete the Federal Direct Master Promissory Note (MPN)
The electronic MPN site allows you to complete and sign an MPN over the web. The process for completing an electronic MPN is simple. You will need to have your Department of Education issued PIN to begin the process.
You or your parent can begin the student loan process by accessing the Department of Education’s Direct Loan Website.
Empire Education Group participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program:
- Loans made through this program are referred to as Direct Loans.
- Eligible students and parents borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education at participating schools.
- Direct Loans include subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans (also known as Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans), Direct PLUS Loans, and Direct Consolidation Loans.
- You repay these loans directly to the Department of Education.
There are two types of Stafford Loans: subsidized and unsubsidized. You must have financial need to receive a subsidized Stafford Loan. Financial need is not a requirement to obtain an unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The U.S. Department of Education will pay (subsidize) the interest that accrues on subsidized Stafford Loans during certain periods.
