Please Note: The Summer 2013 Memorial Loan Program will open April 1, 2013. In order to be eligible to apply, students must be enrolled in a summer semester, have no past due or prior semester balances, and no financial blocks on their accounts. Summer program loan is a maximum of $197.
A Memorial Loan is a short-term, needs based emergency loan that enables students to remain enrolled. Loan amounts vary reflecting the needs-based assistance requested by each applicant. Only Denton campus students are eligible to apply for a loan. The maximum level of support a student may apply for during the fall and spring semesters is $500. A 1% annual interest rate is applied to the loan. Repayment of a loan and interest is the responsibility of the student and is required by the student to repay as defined by the terms stated in the promissory note. Application and loan processing dates vary with each semester. Students are limited to 1 loan per semester.
Accounts will be considered late one (1) day past the repayment date stated in the signed promissory note and assessed an additional $25. An account will be considered default and assessed an additional $25 penalty fee thirty-one (31) days past the repayment date stated in the signed promissory note.
