Perkins Loan

When considering a loan: Loans are available to students and parents to provide them with funding after all other financial aid options have been reviewed. Unlike other financial aid such as scholarships, awards and grants, loans are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Do not borrow more than you need!

Federal Perkins Loan

The Federal Perkins Loan is a need-based loan administered and awarded by Concordia. Because the Perkins Loan funds are limited at each school, they are only made available to students with the highest financial need. This loan does not accumulate interest while the student is in college and payment is deferred until after the student ceases to be enrolled in school. In order to be eligible for Perkins Loans, a student must file the FAFSA.

In order for you to receive your Federal Perkins Loan funds you will need to complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). View the MPN including its terms and conditions: Master Promissory Note. When you arrive on campus you will need to go to the student financial services office in Weller Hall 106 to complete the paperwork. Federal mandated "entrance counseling" is required; it can be completed at any time:  Perkins Entrance Counseling
