Federal Perkins Loan

What is the Federal Perkins Loan?

The Federal Perkins Loan Program, more commonly known as Perkins Loans, are low-interest federal loans for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need.

How do I apply for a Federal Perkins Loan?

Under federal law, the authority for schools to establish new Perkins Loans ended on September 30, 2017, and final disbursements were permitted through June 30, 2018.

As a result, you can no longer apply for or receive Perkins Loans.

Do I have to pay back a Federal Perkins Loan?

Yes, Federal Perkins Loans do need to be repaid. If you are attending school at least half-time, you will have nine months after you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time status to begin repaying your loan.
