renewal application.

student's school has not notified the student of the availability of the ASEL,

application and promissory note and submit them to the commission.

the award is certified.

applicant, and an endorser if required under
AS
14.43.172, must sign a promissory note for
the loan award, unless a previously completed master promissory note is in
effect. The applicant's parent or legal guardian, who meets the eligibility
requirements of
AS
14.43.172(c), also must sign
the promissory note if the applicant is under 17 years of age. An endorser's
signature on a promissory note may be required to be notarized. Liability for
the loan is limited to the amount of loan money disbursed on behalf of the
student plus applicable interest, loan origination fees, and collection
costs.
