Frequently Asked Questions

About My Loans

• Q: How and when should I accept my loans?
  • A: You will accept your loans through Duke Hub under Financials. After accepting your loans, make sure that you have completed mandatory Entrance Counseling and signed your MPN (Master Promissory Note) on the studentaid.gov website to complete the process.
• Q: My loans are scheduled to disburse after the tuition due date. What should I do?
  • A: Once you accept your loans, the Bursar can see that you have anticipated aid and your billing statement will calculate the amount you need to pay. If you have accepted enough to cover your bill, then you will not have to pay the Bursar.
• Q: What if I don’t know how much loan I need to borrow?
  • A: Many students do not know what their budget will be at the time loans are accepted. If you are unsure, we recommend you take out the full amount of loan you have been offered. Students have up to 120 days from the date the loan is disbursed to return unneeded funds. There is no interest accrual or penalty if returned within the 120 days.
• Q: How do I return excess loan funds?
  • A: Email the Office of Financial Aid indicating the amount you would like to return.

Reporting External Scholarship

• Q: I received an external scholarship. Who do I report this to and what will happen to my current award?
  • A: You can notify us through DukeHub or email the School of Medicine Financial Aid Office. Please indicate your student ID, the name of the scholarship, the amount of the scholarship, and if the funds will be for the fall term or the academic year. The funds will first reduce loan in your financial aid package and then need-based scholarship if all loans have been replaced.
