the student borrower drops below halftime, withdraws, graduate or leaves school. A loan
may be cancelled in part or entirely under certain circumstances. The minimum
repayment per year is $480 or more depending on the loan amount.
The Student Account Services, located in Bungalow 619, is responsible for
collections of the Perkins loans.

paid is based
on your enrollment status, availability of funds, eligibility for the program, compliance
