Federal Perkins Loan
The Federal Perkins Loan is designed to assist students with low family incomes and exceptional financial need. It offers a low-interest rate and more generous repayment terms than the other federally sponsored student loan programs.
Due to the Federal Perkins Loan Program Extension Act of 2015 (The Extension Act), enacted on December 18, 2015, the Federal Perkins Loan Program expired on September 30, 2017 and no new loans are being offered to students.
Interest Rate
Fixed at 5 percent.
When to Repay
Repayment begins and interest begins to accrue at nine months after graduation, withdrawal or less than half-time enrollment. No interest accrues on Federal Perkins Loans while the borrower is enrolled at least half-time.
