| Loan Repayment Repayment begins at the end of the grace period. Loans may be billed on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly basis at the discretion of the school. The repayment period may not exceed 10 years. Two factors affect the repayment of a Perkins loan, when the money was borrowed and how much was borrowed. If you received your first Perkins loan on or after 10/1/92 then the minimum amount you would be billed is $120.00 a quarter. Unless you received a previous Perkins loan prior to 10/1/92, then your minimum payment would be $90.00 a quarter. Perkins Loans disbursed between 10/1/81 and 9/30/92 have a minimum payment of at least $90.00 a quarter. How Much: If you borrowed $1,500 and were billed at $120/Qtr. you would be in repayment for just over 3 years. At $90/Qtr. repayment would last about 5 years. If you borrowed $3,000 and were billed at $120/Qtr. you would be in repayment for about 8 years. Instead of the minimum $90/Qtr., the payments would go up to $96.77 and would last 10 years. As your loan increases, so does the loan payment and the length of the repayment period. The amount of interest paid also increases dramatically.
Rutgers University has over 78,000 loans in its Perkins Loan portfolio and has contracted with EFG Technologies to send billing statements and to process loan payments. Customer service for the loans is provided by the Office of Student Loans & Collections.
