LOAN INFORMATION PAGE
Financial Aid

After you file the FAFSA, you will receive a letter prompting you to download additional documents. Once you have returned those documents to our office, and they have been processed, we will award you all of the student loan funds that you are eligible for. The Tyler Junior College Financial Aid Office offers four types of loans to help students cover educational expenses. These include:

• Subsidized Stafford Loan - Loan for student where the interest is paid by the government while the student is consecutively enrolled at least half time (6 hrs) and repayment is postponed until after the student drops below half time status.

• Unsubsidized Stafford Loan - Loan for students where the interest is paid by the student during their education but repayment on the principal does not begin until after the student drops below half time. 

• Parent Plus Loan - Loan for parents of dependent students who are not eligible for enough need-based aid (grants or subsidized stafford) to cover their educational expenses. - The Application for this loan must be submitted online at www.tgslc.org.

• STATE LOANS:  The Texas Be On Time Loan Program - This is a no interest loan that is to assist Texas residents who completed the Advanced High School program and graduated no earlier than the 2002-2003 academic school year. This loan cannot be awarded in addition to the Texas Grant. The loan can be forgiven if certain conditions are met: the student graduates with a "B" average or a GPA of 3.0 on a four point scale, graduates within 2 calendar years at a public or private 2 year institution (degree specific), OR graduates with a "B" average with a total number of credit hours that is no more than 6 hours beyond what is required to complete the degree or certificate. Apply for this loan through the FAFSA and if you meet all edibility criteria an acceptance letter will be sent to you.

Following are links to a couple of programs that can give you additional information about your loans, whether you are checking on an old loan you have or one that you are applying for now.  

• This first site, the Loan Locator, is maintained by National Student Clearinghouse.  By entering your information, you can view contact information for the lender that services your loans.

• If you currently have a promissory note that you have mailed to the lender, you can check the status of your loan progress with the following link.  When TJC Financial Aid processes your loan, we send your information to Texas Guaranteed.   Texas Guaranteed offers the Adventures In Education website to help students monitor the progress of their loans.  You can also see information on past loans you have had if Texas Guaranteed has information on them.

• Another way to check the status of your loan is to contact the servicer of your loan.  Please see our lender list below for the links you need to contact the servicer of your loan.

Note: To contact your lender regarding your loan via the internet please select the Servicer website.

You may use other lenders that are not on this list but the lender you select must process Federal student loans!  (All the banks on our list do!)
