Students must log on to Howdy to accept or reject any financial aid that is offered to them, which will be listed under the "Award" tab. For any financial aid you would like to accept, please click the "Begin Processing" button below the offered awards. Then, click the "Choose..." drop down box under the "Action" column to accept or reject. You will need to do this for each award that is offered.  If you would like to accept less than what is offered, please type the total amount you would like to accept for the academic year in the text box in the "Total Amount" column.

If you accepted your awards, please complete all of your requirements before exiting Howdy (i.e. entrance loan counseling, Master Promissory Note [MPN], etc.).  These incomplete requirements will be listed under the "Status" tab and will be marked with a red "X".  These requirements will contain a link directing you to where the requirement can be completed, and there will be instructions to guide you through the completion process.  Once the requirement is complete, the task will move to the "Complete Requirements" section and will be marked with a green check.

If you were offered a Perkins loan and accepted it, then you must complete the application and promissory note and mail it to: TAMU-Financial Aid, Galveston Processing, P.O. Box 40005, College Station, TX  77842.  You can access the application here and the promissory note here.  Please be sure to have no scratch-outs on these documents, and please ensure that no field is left blank.  If a question does not apply to you, please write N/A in the blank.
