  3. Perkins UpdateAdministration’s FY10 Budget Proposal Budget Proposal: Adds $5B to the Perkins Program [if funded] increasing the number of recipients and number of school participants Interest begins to accrue at disbursement - adding $5,000 or more to the loan principal for undergraduate borrowers taking the maximum loan Eliminates those cancelation benefits unique to Perkins Schools will continue to make determination on student awarding Entrance & exit counseling and loan servicing to be handled by a government contractor Schools would continue to service “old Perkins” loans and retain ICC based on a weighted average of the historical required match and any extra contributions Administrative Cost Allowance from FWS & SEOG can continue to be used to administer “old Perkins” until closed Potential incentive-based system for determining school funding allocation [possibly tied to tuition discounts, retention, performance, etc…] Alternative Proposals: Increase funding but retain the in-school interest subsidy, the cancellation benefits, & the beneficial borrower/school relationship which provides greater flexibility to assist borrowers who delinquent or unable to make scheduled payments Adjust the federal budget rules so that the federal funds invested in Perkins are not treated as one-time monies “spent” without a net present value DOE to service Allow schools the option of either retaining the servicing of the loans or choosing DOE to service
