Step 4. Sign MPN

What is a Subsidized/Unsubsidized Master Promissory Note (MPN)?

The Subsidized/Unsubsidized Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document in which you promise to repay your federal student loan(s) and any accrued interest and fees to your lender or loan holder.

There is one MPN for Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans and a different MPN for Direct PLUS Loans.

Most schools are authorized to make multiple federal student loans under one MPN for up to 10 years.
