Interest is subsidized by the federal government.
The student is responsible for the interest which accrues on the loan and has the option to either pay the interest while in school or defer payment of the interest until principal payments begin six months following graduation. Students requiring less than an academic year to graduate will have eligibility prorated in accordance with federal regulations. Federal Perkins Loans are offered to eligible full-time students. These funds are awarded in classification order. Typically all funds are exhausted after freshmen and sophomore classes are awarded.
