In the college application process , do I have to sign the Master Promissory Note each year ?

If your school is authorized by the Department of Education, and uses the Master Promissory Note as a multi-year note, you will only have to sign the note once as long as you don't change lenders. If you attend a two year or proprietary school, you will need to complete the Master Promissory Note each year. If your Master Promissory Note exceeds 10 years, you must sign a new Master Promissory Note.
