Students apply for the Perkins Loan the same way
as for other federal student aid-by completing the
Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Unlike for Stafford Loans, each school participating
in the Federal Perkins Loan program is given a certain
amount of Perkins Loan funds each year. When all funds
are used for that award year, no more awards can be
made for that year. Therefore, the earlier you submit
the FAFSA, the better your chances of receiving a
Perkins Loan.
