    ACCEPT YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARD
    Visit your myVIP page to accept, reduce or decline any loans that have been offered to you. Students will also need to complete the master promissory note and loan entrance counseling at millikin.edu/loans by August 1 to ensure loan funds appear on their first statement.
