Program Description
Federal Perkins Loans help financially needy undergraduate and graduate students meet the cost of postsecondary education.
The award is made by the school based on the availability of funds. A Federal Perkins Loan carries a fixed interest rate and must
be repaid beginning after a nine-month grace period following the date when the student is no longer enrolled on at least a half-
time basis.
Institutional financial aid administrators at participating institutions have substantial flexibility in determining the amount of
Perkins loans to award to students who are enrolled or accepted for enrollment. Borrowers who undertake certain public,
military, or teaching service employment are eligible to have all or part of their loans canceled.

General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a student pursuing a postsecondary educational degree or certificate.

Loan Terms
Maximum Loan Amounts: Undergraduate - up to $5,500 a year (maximum of $27,500 as an undergraduate)
Graduate - up to $8,000 a year (maximum of $60,000, including undergraduate loans)
Amount actually received depends on financial need, amount of other aid, and availability of funds at school

Interest Rate: Fixed at five percent

Maximum Loan Length: Up to 10 years to repay, depending on amount owed

Frequency of Payments: Monthly or quarterly. After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you have a
nine-month grace period before you begin repayment. Those in the military might have longer.

Prepayment penalties: None

Fees: None


Your Next StepsThe following information will lead you to the next steps to apply for this benefit.
Application Process
To apply for Perkins Loans, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can apply online using FAFSA on the
Web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (the faster and easier way), or you can get a paper FAFSA from your high school, local library,

for the hearing impaired can call 847-688-2567.

*******************************************

Program Description
Stafford Loans are available for undergraduate and graduate students and come from one of two sources:
•Direct Stafford Loans are made by the U.S. Department of Education. You repay a Federal Direct Stafford Loan to the U.S.
Department of Education.
•Federal Stafford Loans are made through Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. While FFEL funds come from private
lenders, such as banks and credit unions, they are subsidized and supported by the U.S. Department of Education. You repay a
FFEL Stafford Loan to the private lender that made the loan or to its designated agency.
Whether you receive a Direct or FFEL Stafford Loan depends on the program in which your school participates.  In either case the
terms of the loan (loan amounts, interest rate, and other benefits) are generally the same.

For both the Direct and FFEL programs there are two types of Stafford Loans:

A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need, as determined by the information you submit on the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  If you are eligible for a subsidized Stafford loan you will not be charged interest while you are in
school on an at least half-time basis, during a grace period of up to six months after you are no longer enrolled on at least a “half-
time” basis, or during certain defined deferment periods.  The Federal government pays (subsidizes) the interest during these
periods.

An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of need.  But you still must apply using the FAFSA.  For unsubsidized loans, you
will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid off in full.  However, you can choose to defer payment of
interest while you are in school and during any grace or deferment period.  However, if you allow interest to accrue (accumulate)
during these periods, it will be capitalized.  This means that interest will be added to the principal amount of your loan, and
additional interest will be based on that higher amount.

General Program Requirements
To qualify for this program, you must be enrolled in a postsecondary educational program leading to a postsecondary degree or
certificate. There are other requirements.  For more information, read The Student Guide online at http://studentaid.ed.
gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html.

Loan Terms
Maximum Loan Amount: up to $20,500 annually (depending on your grade level, your status as a dependent or independent
student, your status as an undergraduate or a graduate student, and your total cost of attendance).

Interest Rate: The interest rate is variable (adjusted annually on July 1st) but does not exceed 8.25 percent. You'll be notified any
time the variable rate changes. For the current Stafford Loan interest rate, go to http://studentaid.ed.
gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/studentloans.jsp?tab=funding.

Maximum Loan Length: 30 years, depending on amount borrowed and repayment plan chosen. There are a number of repayment
plans offered through the Direct and FFEL programs. Read the Repaying Your Student Loan online at  http://www.studentaid.ed.
gov/students/publications/repaying_loans/index.html for more information about repayment.

Frequency of Payments: monthly or quarterly. After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you have a six-
month grace period before you begin repayment.

Prepayment Penalties: none

Fees: You'll pay a fee of up to four percent of the loan, deducted proportionately from each loan disbursement. Because of this
deduction, you'll receive slightly less than the amount you're borrowing.


Your Next StepsThe following information will lead you to the next steps to apply for this benefit.
Application Process
To apply for FFEL or Direct Stafford Loans, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can apply online using
FAFSA on the Web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (the faster and easier way), or you can get a paper FAFSA from your high school,
local library, postsecondary school, or by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).
TTY users for the hearing impaired can call 1-847-688-2567.

If you applied for Federal student aid for the previous school year, you can probably file a Renewal FAFSA for the next year. By
using a Renewal FAFSA, you will only have to update any information that has changed and fill in a few new answers.


Program Contact Information
To determine whether you are eligible to receive assistance through this program, you must first complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Schools use this information from the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for most Federal student
aid programs and for many state, institutional, and private aid programs.

military, or teaching service employment are eligible to have all or part of their loans canceled.

In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a student pursuing a postsecondary educational degree or certificate.


Loan Terms


Maximum Loan Amounts: Undergraduate—up to $5,500 a year (maximum of $27,500 as an undergraduate)
Graduate—up to $8,000 a year (maximum of $60,000, including undergraduate loans)
Amount actually received depends on financial need, amount of other aid, and availability of funds at school

Interest Rate: Fixed at 5 percent

Maximum Loan Length: Up to 10 years to repay, depending on amount owed

Frequency of Payments: Monthly or quarterly. After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time enrollment, you have a
nine-month grace period before you begin repayment. Those in the military might have longer.

Prepayment penalties: None

Fees: None


Your Next StepsThe following information will lead you to the next steps to apply for this benefit.
Application Process
To apply for Perkins Loans, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can apply online using FAFSA on the
Web at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov (the faster and easier way), or you can get a paper FAFSA from your high school, local library,
postsecondary school, or by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). TTY users
for the hearing impaired can call 1-847-688-2567.

Consolidation Loans are available to most borrowers of Federal education loans and come from one of two sources:
•Direct Consolidation Loans are made by the U.S. Department of Education. You repay a Federal Consolidation Loan to the U.S.
Department of Education.

•Federal Consolidation Loans are made through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program.  While FFEL funds come from
private lenders, such as banks and credit unions, they are subsidized and supported by the U.S. Department of Education.  You
repay a FFEL Consolidation Loan to the private lender that made the loan or to its designated agency.
Whether you receive a Direct or FFEL Consolidation Loan depends on which program you choose.  In either case the terms of the
loan (loan amounts, interest rate, and other benefits) are generally the same.

Most Federal student loans are eligible for consolidation, including subsidized and unsubsidized Direct and Federal Family
Education (FFEL) Stafford Loans, Direct and FFEL PLUS Loans (parent loans), Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Nursing Loans, and
Health Education Assistance Loans.  Private educational loans are not eligible.

You can get an FFEL Consolidation Loan during your grace period, once you have entered repayment, or during periods of
deferment or forbearance.  Direct Consolidation Loans are also available when you are still in school.  Borrowers who are in
default must meet certain requirements before they may consolidate their loans.


Loan Terms
Maximum Loan Amount: none


Interest Rate: weighted average interest rate on the loans being consolidated, rounded to the nearest one-eighth of 1 percent, not
to exceed 8.25 percent. Currently, the interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan. To get an estimate of your interest rate, go to
the Online Calculator at https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/loancalc/servlet/common.mvc.Controller?controller_task=startCalculator

Maximum Loan Length: 30 years

Frequency of Payments: monthly or quarterly

Program Description
PLUS Loans come from one of two sources:
•Direct PLUS Loans are made by the U.S. Department of Education. You repay a Direct PLUS Loan to the U.S. Department of
Education.
•Federal PLUS Loans are made through Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program.  While FFEL funds come from private
lenders, such as banks and credit unions, they are subsidized and supported by the U.S. Department of Education.   You repay a
FFEL PLUS Loan to the private lender that made the loan or to its designated agency.
Whether you receive a Direct or FFEL PLUS Loan depends on the program in which your school participates.  In either case the
terms of the loan (loan amounts, interest rate, and other benefits) are generally the same.

The school applies PLUS loan funds toward your child’s educational costs such as tuition, fees, and room and board.  If any loan
funds remain after school charges are paid, you will receive the remaining amount from the school, unless you authorized the
school to release the funds to your child. Any funds you or your child receives must be used to pay the child’s educational
expenses.

General Program Requirements
To qualify for this program, you must:

A)    Be a parent of a dependent postsecondary student who is working toward a postsecondary degree or certificate; and

B)    Not have an adverse credit history.

There are other requirements.  For more information, read The Student Guide online at: http://studentaid.ed.
gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html


Loan Terms


Maximum Loan Amount: Your child's cost of attendance minus other financial aid. For example, if your child's cost of attendance
is $6,000, and he or she receives $4,000 in other financial aid, you can borrow up to $2,000 in PLUS Loans.

Interest Rate: The interest rate is variable (adjusted annually on July 1), but it does not exceed 9 percent. You'll be notified any
time the variable rate changes. For the current PLUS Loan interest rate, go to http://studentaid.ed.
gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/parentloans.jsp?tab=funding.

Maximum Loan Length: up to 30 years, depending on the amount borrowed and the repayment plan chosen. There are a number
of repayment plans offered through the Direct and FFEL programs. Read the Repaying Your Student Loan online at http://www.
studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/repaying_loans/index.html for more information about repayment.

Frequency of Payments: monthly or quarterly. Generally, the first payment is due within 60 days after the loan is fully disbursed.
You must begin repaying both principal and interest while the student is in school.

Prepayment Penalties: none

Fees: You will pay a fee of up to 4 percent of the loan, deducted proportionately each time a loan disbursement is made. Because
of this deduction, you'll receive slightly less than the amount you're borrowing.


Your Next StepsThe following information will lead you to the next steps to apply for this benefit.
Application Process
If your child's school participates in the Direct Loan program, you can obtain a Direct PLUS Loan application from your child's
school. To apply for a FFEL PLUS Loan, you can get an application through your child's school, from a lender that participates in
the FFEL program, or from the guaranty agency in your state.

Note: Although it's not a requirement, you are strongly encouraged to have your dependent child file a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) to see if he or she may be eligible for other student loans or grants. The student can use FAFSA on the Web,
at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to apply (the faster and easier way), or he or she can get a paper FAFSA from his or her high school,
local library, postsecondary school, or by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).

enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution."

University wants to pay the tuition.  The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from
low-income families can go to Harvard for free... no tuition and no student loans!

Program Description
The James Madison Fellowships were created to honor Madison's legacy and Madisonian principles by providing support for
graduate study that focuses on the Constitution, its history and contemporary relevance to the practices and policies of
democratic government. The fellowships are intended exclusively for graduate study leading to a master’s degree. The
maximum amount of each award is $24,000, prorated over the individual period of study, thus making the James Madison
Fellowship the leading award for secondary level teachers undertaking study of the Constitution. Fellowship payments cover the
actual costs of tuition, required fees, books, and room and board but cannot exceed $12,000 per academic year. Normally,
Fellows receive less than these maximum amounts. James Madison Fellows may attend any accredited institution of higher
education in the United States. Each individual entering the James Madison Fellowship Program will be expected to pursue and
complete a master’s degree in one of the following (listed in order of the Foundation’s preference): Master of Arts (MA) in
American history or in political science (also referred to as "government and politics" or as "government"); Master of Arts in
Teaching (MAT) concentrating on either American Constitutional history (in a history department) or American government,
political institutions, and political theory (in a political science department); Master of Education (MEd) or the Master of Arts or
Master of Science in Education with a concentration in American history or American government, political institutions, and
political theory.

The Foundation offers two types of fellowships: Junior Fellowships are awarded to students who are about to complete, or have
completed, their undergraduate course of study and plan to begin graduate work on a full-time basis. Junior Fellows have two
years to complete their degree. Senior Fellowships are awarded to teachers who wish to undertake work for a graduate degree
on a part-time basis through summer and evening classes. Senior Fellows have up to five years to complete their degree.
General Program Requirements
To be eligible to apply for a fellowship, you must: Be a U.S. citizen or U.S. national. Be a teacher, or plan to become a teacher, of
American history, American government, or social studies at the secondary school level (grades 7-12). Possess a bachelor’s
degree or plan to receive a bachelor’s degree no later than August 31 of the year in which you are applying. Wait at least three
years from the time that any previous graduate degree was awarded before applying for a James Madison Fellowship.

All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship Programs to Increase College Access in Iowa
$1.5 million in State funding will make dreams of a college education affordable
(Des Moines)- Governor Chet Culver today announced the availability of All Iowa Opportunity Scholarships and Grants aimed to
increase college access for low-income students and youth in foster care.
“Students in Iowa graduate from college with some of the highest debt loads in the nation, yet they do not have nearly enough
access to needs-based financial aid. That is why I am pleased to announce that the new All Iowa Scholarship Programs are now
available,” said Governor Culver. “By making it easier for college-bound students to achieve their educational goals, we are once
again demonstrating our commitment to our children. And we are taking one more step to helping Iowa’s children reach their full
potential.”
The All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship will provide awards up to $6,269 to nearly 200 students who graduated from Iowa high
schools with 2.5 GPAs and enroll in Iowa colleges or universities.
“We are seeking out students who want to go to college, but just don’t feel like it is an option,” said Karen Misjak, Executive
Director of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission, the state agency administering the program. “We will be working with
educational outreach programs, such as TRIO, officials from alternative high schools, and with the Department of Human
Services to identify first-generation students and those from disadvantaged backgrounds or who are homeless but want to go to
college.”
“We know that approximately 1,300 students with family adjusted gross incomes of $24,000 or less meet this criterion. We just
need to find them,” said Misjak.
The All Iowa Opportunity Foster Care Grant, which also was enacted by the 2007 Iowa General Assembly, joins the federal
Education and Training Voucher (ETV) program in funding youth who were in foster care or who were adopted from foster care
after their 16th birthday. An applicant must be between 18 and 23 years of age, have graduated from high school or attained a
general equivalency diploma (GED) and be a resident of this state. The All Iowa Opportunity Foster Care Grant will provide grants
up to the full cost of attendance to youth in foster care beginning in the fall of 2007. “College is difficult enough without having to
worry about tuition, fees, and living expenses,” said Governor Culver. “It’s hard to imagine facing this challenge alone, which is
how approximately 450 youth who age out of Iowa foster care feel each year,” noted Culver. “The State of Iowa is dedicated to
helping its youth succeed, especially those who need us most.”
To apply for the All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship or Grant programs, applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and complete program-specific applications. For more details about each of these programs, visit the Iowa
College Student Aid Commission’s website www.IowaCollegeAid.gov, email us at info@IowaCollegeAid.gov , or call an
Information Service Center Specialist at 877-272-4456. Governor Culver encourages all Iowa students to work hard in high school
to ensure that they achieve the minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA to be eligible to apply.

that local Chapters of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), with support from RMHC Global, McDonald's Corporation and
McDonald's restaurants, offer scholarships to students from communities who face limited access to educational and career
opportunities. These scholarships are part of the RMHC and McDonald's ongoing commitment to education.

the Hispanic American Commitment to Education Resources (HACER) program. In 2001, the RMHC/ASIA (Asian Students
Increasing Achievement) and RMHC African American Future Achievers Scholarships began. To date, RMHC has awarded more
than $19 million to help high school seniors attend college.

RMHC is now broadening the scope of its national scholarship program. Beginning in Fall 2005, students of all backgrounds are
eligible to apply for the RMHC National Scholarship Program.

On February 1, 2001, President George W. Bush announced the New Freedom Initiative. Founded upon the spirit of the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the New Freedom Initiative represents a comprehensive set of proposals designed to ensure that
Americans with disabilities have the opportunity to learn and develop skills, engage in productive work, make choices about their
daily lives, and participate fully in their communities.

The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) is uniquely charged with providing a national focus on enhancing the
employment of people with disabilities. As such, ODEP has the key responsibility for implementing the employment-related
aspects of the President's New Freedom Initiative.


Secretary of Labor's New Freedom Initiative Award
Established in 2002, the Secretary of Labor’s New Freedom Initiative Award annually recognizes non-profits, small businesses,
corporations and individuals that have demonstrated exemplary and innovative efforts in furthering the employment and
workplace environment for people with disabilities, a goal of President Bush’s New Freedom Initiative. On October 26, at the Fifth
Anniversary New Freedom Initiative Awards ceremony, Secretary Elaine L. Chao presented awards to nine winners. The occasion
also marked the first presentation of the Secretary’s Spirit Award.


NFI Circle of Champions Share Successes

Beginning in October 2006, the Circle of Champions (CoC), comprising the NFI awardees in the business category, has become a
valuable resource to ODEP. CoC participants have come together twice each year to help inform disability employment policy by
sharing proven business strategies and effective practices that result in recruiting, hiring and advancing the careers of people
with disabilities.

The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund
The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund was created by law in 1968 to ensure access to higher education for those who
come from backgrounds of economic and educational disadvantage. The Fund assists low-income New Jersey residents who
are capable and motivated but lack adequate preparation for college study.
The Fund is distinctive in the comprehensiveness of its approach. To ensure the opportunity to attend college, the Fund provides
supplemental financial aid to help cover college costs (such as books, fees, room and board) that are not covered by the state’s
Tuition Aid Grant program and the Federal Pell Grant. To ensure a viable opportunity to succeed and graduate, the Fund supports
a wide array of campus-based outreach and support services at 28 public and 13 independent institutions.
The Fund is governed by a Board of Directors, currently chaired by James Avery, which is appointed by the Governor. The Board
sets policy, approves all necessary regulations for program operation and student eligibility, develops the annual budget request
for the statewide program, and supports EOF programs at public and independent colleges and universities.
The EOF Board also supervises a small graduate grant program, as well as the C. Clyde Ferguson Law and the Martin Luther King
Physician -Dentistry programs.

EOF History
The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) is a program providing special assistance to young men and women from
economically and educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. Among the many powerful strategies that EOF has implemented are
basic skills testing and remediation, systematic retention efforts, peer counseling and peer tutoring, academic support courses,
multicultural curricula and human relations programming, student leadership development, and outcomes-based program
evaluation and performance funding.
New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund has also been a leader in the higher education system’s effort to increase diversity.
While participation is not limited to minority students, EOF sponsors more than one-third of the black and Hispanic students at
the state colleges and New Jersey’s independent institutions, and over a quarter at the public colleges and both four-year and
two-year. EOF enrolls about 12.5% of the first-time, full-time New Jersey freshmen who enter the state’s colleges and Universities
each fall.

Eligibility Information
The New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) provides financial assistance and support services (e.g. counseling, tutoring,
developmental course work) to students from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who attend
institutions of higher education in the State of New Jersey and who might otherwise be unable to attend such institutions.
New Jersey’s community colleges and public and private four-year colleges and universities participate in the EOF Program.
However, the actual number of available spaces at each college or university is limited. To participate in an EOF program,
students must apply to a New Jersey college or university and file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Because EOF is a
campus-based program, each campus is responsible for student recruitment, selection, program services, and its own specific
criteria for EOF admission and program participation.

Students should contact the EOF director at the particular institution of their interest for specific admissions information and
requirements for participation in the EOF program. Grants are generally available to students from families with a background of
historical poverty, who meet the academic criteria set by the institution of their choice. The program is limited to applicants
whose gross income does not exceed the limits listed below (based on how many people in the household).

Household
Size        Gross Income
Limit
1        $15,780
2         $21,220
3         $26,660
4         $32,100
5         $32,540
6         $42,980
7         $48,420
8        $53,860   NOTE: THESE AMOUNTS MAY HAVE CHANGED
