Students in over 1700 colleges across the country receive Perkins Loan and it is in jeopardy of being cut. Perkins Loans must be renewed every seven years and are set to expire September 2015 if not renewed. This means that this loan will not be available in next semester’s package.
Perkins Loans carry a fixed interest rate of 5% for the duration of the ten-year repayment period. The Perkins Loan Program has a nine-month grace period, so that borrowers begin repayment in the tenth month upon graduating, falling below half-time status, or withdrawing from their college or university.
