Federal Perkins Loan
A Federal Perkins loan is a low-interest loan for both undergraduate and graduate students who demonstrate exceptional financial need. This type of loan is made through the school's office of financial aid. The school is your lender, and the school loan is disbursed through government funding. Similar to other types of educational loans, a Perkins School loan must be repaid. Learn more.
