You may be eligible for deferment of your Perkins loan.
Deferment is a period of time during which the borrower is not required to repay the loan principal and interest, followed by a six month post-deferment grace period. A borrower is entitled to have the repayment of a loan deferred under certain circumstances. It is the borrower's responsibility to request deferment from the school.
