Federal Perkins Loans for Undergraduate, Vocational and Graduate Students

students — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:06:57 +0000

The Federal Perkins Loan Program provides low-interest loans to help needy students finance the costs of postsecondary education. Students can receive Perkins loans at any one of approximately 1,800 participating postsecondary institutions.

A Federal Perkins Loan, or Perkins Loan, is a need-based student loan offered by the U.S. Department of Education to assist American college students in funding their post-secondary education. The program is named after Carl D. Perkins, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Kentucky.

A Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest (5 percent) Federal student loan for both undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. Unlike the Federal Stafford loan and Parent PLUS loan, the Federal Perkins Loans is made through a school's financial aid office. Your school is your lender, and the loan is made with government funds. You must repay this loan to your school.

Your school will either pay you directly (usually by check) or apply the loan funds to any school charges that you have. The loan will be disbursed in at least two separate payments during the academic year.
