- Once logged in, choose the VSC Web Services icon on the left of the page.
- Select the Student icon on the right of the page.
- Under the Financial Aid heading, select Choose Stafford Loan Lender.
- Select the award year and Castleton as the Financial Aid Office and click submit.
- Read through the information on the page, including information on our Suggested Lenders if you do not have a lender preference already.
- Complete the online Stafford Entrance Counseling by clicking the link (this will open as a second window).
- If choosing a lender from our Suggested Lender List, complete the Master Promissory Note for that lender by clicking the corresponding link (this will open as a second window).
- As your final step, click to highlight the lender you want or fill in the required lender information and click the submit button.
- If you make a mistake or want to change your lender of choice at any time, please notify the financial aid office in writing and we will make the necessary adjustments.
