Deferment of Perkins Loan Payment

Deferment is a period when interest does not accumulate and payments on the principal balance need not be paid. Borrowers who qualify for deferment must submit a completed deferment form. After each deferment, the borrower is entitled to a post-deferment grace period of six months.

Eligibility: An assessment is completed on each student loan to determine eligibility. The Student Loans Office must receive completed deferment forms and copies of supporting documentation before your account will be reviewed. If you are granted a deferment all late charges must be paid before your account can go into deferment status.

Types of deferment and applicable forms:

  1. In School/ Attending another University
  2. Forbearance
  3. Graduate Fellowship
  4. Unemployed/ Seeking Employment
  5. Economic Hardship
  6. Cancellation Deferment
  7. Peace Corps or Vista
  8. Temporary and Total Permanent Disability
