The IRS form 1098-T is filed by Santa Clara University for each student who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and has qualified tuition and related expenses billed (charged) during the calendar year (January 1 through December 31). 1098-T forms are available online by the end of January, following the reporting year. 

Most international students are non resident aliens (NRA) and therefore cannot claim tax credits for educational expense (form 1098-T is used to claim these credits).

The 1098-T form is provided to U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents (LPR), as well as spouses, and legal dependents of U.S. citizens and LPRs. It's also given to students who have been in the U.S. for enough time to file taxes as a 'resident alien for federal tax purposes' (the opposite of NRA).

If you think you qualify for a 1098-T, please fill out a W-9s form.
It must be your personal SSN/ITIN number. The SSN of a relative/or spouse cannot be used on the W-9S form.

Please email onestop@scu.edu using your SCU email address to request instructions on how to submit a W-9S form.

Now that you have accepted your federal direct loans, you will need to complete two loan requirements that can be done on studentaid.gov .

Master Promissory Note (MPN)

The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document which the borrower signs as a promise to repay your loan(s) and any accrued interest and fees to the U.S. Department of Education. It also explains the terms and conditions of your loan(s). Unless your school does not allow more than one loan to be made under the same MPN, you can borrow additional Direct Loans on a single MPN for up to 10 years.

The Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) must be signed by the borrower prior to the school certification and prior to the disbursement of any loan funds to the student's account. The completion of the MPN is generally signed at the time the application is submitted and can be signed electronically during the application process.

If the borrower applies for the loan each year, then the borrower only has to complete the MPN once – the first year these funds are borrowed for you. The borrower, however, must re-apply for a new loan every year.

Entrance Counseling

If you accept a Federal Direct Loan, federal and institutional regulations require you to complete an entrance counseling tutorial. You will learn important information about repayment, deferment, forbearance and cancellation. Students meet this requirement by completing the online the entrance counseling tutorial at studentaid.gov.

If you have not previously received a Federal Direct Loan, the federal government requires you to complete entrance counseling to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and obligations you are assuming.

Do I have to borrow the full amount?

You can request to lower the loan amount by emailing onestop@scu.edu. Please include the following items in an email:

• Your name
• ID number
• The name of the loan you wish to have reduced along with the specific amount requested.

Aid¹ will not reflect on the SCU Account Detail page until it disburses closer to when classes begin for the term. Prior to disbursement, aid will reflect only on your SCU Pay Site after the bill publishes on the first of the month. 

¹Aid must be accepted in order for it show up as anticipated aid. 

SCU scholarships and grants are only awarded upon admittance. You can apply for private scholarships outside of SCU. 

Here is a link for a list of outside scholarships:

If you want your private scholarship to go towards a specific term, please have the donor mail or email our office a statement, with your name and SCU ID number, the way you would like your scholarship money awarded.

Work study is a federal student aid program for college students with financial need that helps them get part-time jobs.

• Federal work-study is utilized by having a job and earning a paycheck as work-study earnings
• Federal Work-study is intended to help students pay for books, supplies, personal expenses during the academic year
• The offer has limited funding and is offered to students based on their need eligibility
• Income is counted as financial aid, and not as regular income, which increases a student’s eligibility for financial aid
• The employing department pays 25% of the work study wages, while the remainder is sourced by the federal work-study fund
