Stafford Loan Information & Application Process with Discover as a lender

The electronic processes will be available here as soon as the set-up is complete. Until then you can contact the Financial Aid Office and we can provide you with a paper application to complete and submit to our office. Although the application is a paper process, funds will usually be disbursed through electronic funds transfer (EFT) of your disbursement to WCC as well.

What happens next?

• You will be sent a notification letter from the Financial Aid Office with your certified loan amount and the date we expect your first disbursement to be available. You will also receive a new or revised Award Notification indicating the quarterly loan amounts.

• You will be sent a notification letter regarding any known issues or problems regarding your loan or the application process.

• Your lender is resposible for sending disclosure information to you which includes information regarding loan fees, repayment information, etc.

• Funds cannot be disbursed before the 1st day of the quarter, even if you are in a class that starts earlier.

• If you are applying after the quarter has started, it can take 1½-2 weeks from the time you complete the request form until your loan funds are available.

• Funds will usually be sent to WCC electronically.
